Does anyone have the aFe Takeda air intake installed?

[powerofdreams]

Just wondering what your experience has been, since it looks like not many have it. Any CELs? How's the turbo noise compared to stock? I mostly just want more induction noise but don't want it to be too loud. I was also thinking about just getting a drop-in filter, but not sure if that would make much of a difference by itself.

Thanks!

I have 2 friends with this intake installed and they love it. One of the cars is a Type S and the other a CTR

Just ordered it on Thursday. Let's see how the install goes. Their marketing numbers look pretty good not sure if it's real.

Lots of CELs reported on Facebook for this intake, buyer beware.

Don't worry if you get CEL just hit up Jester04. He will get you a tune and in the process you will end up with a new turbo, fuel system and a bunch of other expensive parts lmfao

FYI, you cannot resolve the CEL this intake causes with a tune. There is a manufacturing flaw in some units that prevents proper installation of the MAF sensor.

Interesting. I may just cancel the order then. Which one do you guys recommend? PRL seems a little pain to install.

PRL for sure. Not difficult to install in my opinion. For some reason it went around that the ECU needs to come out to install the duct and that is not correct.

Correct! The issue will persist since it is a problem with the way the intake ventilates the evap system.

I think I'm just going to go with the PRL kit and maybe pick up a dry-flow filter, since I liked how the aFe one had that option.

I've not heard of codes with that one but have seen some reported idle issues. (surging)
