Seems like so many options atm. Hard to finalize which to get. Any advice for car thats dual duty dd/5-10 track days a year, car will be stock turbo always just tune, intake, exhaust.
Ideally goal is best intake airtemps
least pressure drop
Least lag.
Weight or looks doesnt matter.
5-10 track days a year is a decent amount. Depending on your budget, I would only go HKS ($1,040), PWR ($1,750), WOT ($2,000) or J’s Racing ($2,555) since your stock turbo and tracking.

The tube and fins do take a beating with rocks and debris during daily driving.

I had the PRL bar and plate but it added noticeable turbo lag and overheating at the track.

That's also one of the benefits with the Microtube design, no fins to get damaged.
