Which turbo inlet do you recommend?
To replace the most restrictive part of the stock intake system, everyone should pick up ones of these for their X. I know several companies makes them but which one would you use?
Cobb, Perrin and Samco are all made in 1 piece silicone
Agency Power, Blitz Japan and Ralliart have theirs made in aluminum with silicone joints
Aside from the construction, I believe their diameter may be slightly different.
Strictly from the performance perspective, which one would you buy if money isnt an issue?
Thanks.

Thats what I thought, although silicone has the steel reinforcement its still no where as strong as hard pipe and may deform under high boost.
Do you know the diameter of the MAF sensor? I suppose the best design would be a smooth and tapered transition from the sensor to the turbo inlet.

I just put in the Agency Power one. It wasn't quite an exact fit, but it worked. Maybe it was designed to be used with a aftermarket intake more than the stock box....but it said it also works with the stock air box.
