Great to hear! That is crazy efficient the fact that once the problem was identified they worked to rectify it and shipped Replacements out that quickly especially being overseas and with the shipping and tariffs and all the other stuff. Good news and great coordination by you!

I definitely think if some of the users are now able to post their logs or their fuel trims, it'll definitely help prove that they've improved or fixed the issue which I definitely believe they have.

I ran my trims on a drive that was about 20 minutes long. I have a 1 minute video showing my Short & Long terms. I cant get it to post here but if you DM on IG ill send it. @chad_hannan

to summarize, both look stable as short hardly ever goes over 10% and then immediately drops, and long hasnt gone above 8%

Thanks man! I have a group chat directly with them and they were kept in the loop on every issue from the start. Once a few people started throwing a CEL it was time to act.


This is why I jumped on board with them after talking to them for a bit I could tell they're really dedicated and good people. They're going to be US based soon too. When I brought them the feedback from customers they had a solution by the next morning. Obviously they still had to do a week or so of testing before shipping, but they got the updated units out to customers fast actually overnighted them from tawain lol. I'm genuinely impressed with how they handled it. This is what happens when companies manufacturer themselves and dont "wait for containers" like most companies here in the states lol


People just need to put some more miles on them and the fuel trims will start to show the improvement. Half my customers are tuned and half are running this as their first mod, so the results will vary a little but they'll comeI am interested also obviously. They showed me their data and it looked good on their car over there. People just need to do 200+ miles then check and also make sure to reset the ECU.


Appreciate the kind words this is exactly why I do what I do. Coordination between the manufacturer and the customer is everything, and when a company actually listens and acts, it makes my job easy for you guys!

@SBX Performance

Do you know how IATs been for the intake at speed and in stop and go traffic vs OEM?

there’s so many variables it’s hard to say lol temp outside, time of day, how long you’ve been driving, heat soak, all of it. at speed yeah it’ll probably pull cooler air but in stop and go you’re just fighting engine bay heat no matter what intake you’re running. really need a back to back datalog, same day same route same conditions vs OEM to actually compare. Plus other variables really need a controlled test with criteria’s my car is too far gone for that lol IAT reports are kinda useless without a controlled test tbh just like fuel trims

1 Black and 3 red in stock here!

also have 2 open boxes for $300 each black and a red.
Do you know the dimensions of the included filter? I couldn't find anything on their site and would like to use an AEM filter in place of the MST one.

Are the open boxes missing anything/squshed filters or anything?
nope I put new filters in the box I have a bunch. They were customers who didn’t want to wait for the new housings to arrive and went PRL instead. One wasn’t even installed and the red one was ran for a few hundred miles looks brand new

Just installed the intake with the updated red MAF tube. Has anyone else had issues trying to get the MAF tube and velocity stack aligned?

There's two clamps that secure the silicone hose to the MAF tube and velocity stack. The issue I encountered is that there's not much space, and the clamps get squished against the rubber opening on the heat shield. It kinda throws the entire intake alignment off, and makes it difficult to seat everything properly. For me, the MAF side clamp isn't really clamping anything because it's resting on the narrow section of the MAF tube (since it has a taper). I assume I just need to keep adjusting my setup to make it align better. Look at the two pictures below and notice the gap/clearance:
