Default For anyone interested in how much an Sflo pipe+large filter helps K04s

Sorry, I didn't keep going up in the RPMs for charting purposes (stock injectors+5bar). The ECU does a good job at cutting everything back when it hits its max fuel flow. Here is a comparison between a K&N Panel filter (~65-67sq inch) + hole vs. Sflo pipe + XP3990 K&N cone filter (132sq inch). With the panel, it will level off @ 298-301g/sec.

Temps of both logs were ~25F.

Default Sflo pipe + XP3990 K&N cone filter (132sq inch) w/hole ?

Is there a good tech article regarding the airbox hole placement etc ?

Default do you get that *psshhtt* sound with this like you would with a regular open element filter

when you get off boost? Yes, I am a ricer, I like the sound.

Default You can hear it a little bit on the inside, but my exhaust is so loud

my ears tend to be ringing when I go off throttle ;-) But yes, outside of the car, like near guardrails, etc its pretty noisy.

Default Anyone do this with the RS4 MAF or AWE's custom MAF?

I'd be interested to see how fitment issues were resolved as well as any performance increases that might be seen.
