I dont understand how some of you guys are saying an open air filter is better then just taking the top of the filter off.
Its the same freaking thing, you think your doing better with an open filter just sitting there in the engine bay
for someone on a budget the air-box with the cover off is fine, you do hear more of the turbo and the BOV is louder, or you can save up and buy an open filter.

i wouldnt go with the top of the air box off. I had a mazda speed protege and did a custom cold air intake install. At first the filter was at a position where no fresh air could enter at the bottom of the engine bay. I saw a significant loss in power. I could only imagine how much you could loose on a hot day with the top of the air box off.
No intake for me on the EVO. Im a B**** about my warranty.

Take a look at the following link:

Is this you about 2 weeks ago asking for help on a simple subject?
Looks like you were not even sure how to hook up a boost controller/WGA.
Come on man, why are you coming in here questioning me when you, yourself are having trouble with your stuff? Give us a break!
I am sorry, I don't mean to keep hammering on you guys, but clearly, you are giving me no choice.
Lay off. Let me help the ones that need help. I can help you guys too, you know. How can I help you? I will give you a decent answer!

The K&N drop-in is good, gains you more power, IMO the stock airbox with the Ram induction system could even be better than the Suction Kit, it sucks the cold air from outside while the suction kit sucks the hot air from the engine if its not protected with a heat shield. try changing the pipe from the turbo to the airbox too, better for airflow!
Goodluck!
Goodluck!

Did you not call me a crack head?
[QUOTE=SiCKlEyWiKeD]wow! what kinda crack are you smoking. why the hell would you want to take the top of the box off. It defeats the whole purpose of the design of the thing.
The thread may be lame to you, but not to the person who needed help!
Take a look at this snap shot I took of one of your past thread. Very similar to this one. You needed help then. Why call this one lame. Some post a thread to get help, then people like you come in them and call others names. You did to me. Then you complain of an attack? Treat others as you would like to be treated!
By the way, that last question in the snap shot of your other thread, do you see where you were wondering about the boost controller beign properly installed? That is what I was talking about. Blind leading the blind! Sorry Mr. Manny.

It will lean out your fuel mixture and give you some more power, until you get knock and the ECU pulls timing. A tune will give you more power with the stock filter by leaning out the mixture in safe places so you don't get knock.
I have used K&N filters in the past and have decided not to put one in the EVO. They will last the life of your car at the expence of a lot of maintenance. You will need to clean and re-oil it and if you add too much oil, you will need to clean your MAF sensor. I have spoken to tuners about the airbox thing and they agree that until you're pushing 400awhp, you can stick with the box and a good paper filter. Although they can tune for most intakes, there isn't that much change caused from the lack of available airflow for a stock turbo.
