BJSXR6TMKII Member 30 Member For: 4y 1d Posted 22/05/20 09:17 AM Share Posted 22/05/20 09:17 AM Hey guys I'm looking at installing a turbo side intake on my FG XR6T, a couple of questions, are they worth it? Any gains at all? Will my car need to be retuned? And lastly is the antz kit decent or is there another I should look at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tune will obviously have gains with a freed up intake, but at the same time you'd want to go for a bunch of other mods to make up for the extra airflow possible, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not an expert but I assume there would be a small (5kw~?) gain. No need to get a tune, and this was the first mod I did (plus intercooler piping), but it sounds 1000x better after I upgraded intercooler and exhaust + tune etc. Antz kit looks alright for the price but I'm glad I went with Plazmaman.

I couldn't justify the extra cost of the Plaz for something that's just a couple of pipes and some sheet metal.I did grab a K&N pod though as I didn't want to skimp there. Will just use the Antz pod as a spare if the K&N is being cleaned.It does make a lot of noise on throttle compared to the factory setup which is great, but just be prepared for the fact that it isn't subtle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
