Sure it's true but looks like they are claiming engine HP figures which no one really knows what it translates to the wheels until you hit up the dyno. I would check to see if anyone has independently tested the intake for it's power before buying. Google is your friend here.

I don't buy it. You're not going to pick up that kind of gain on a turbocharged engine just by reducing intake restriction.

The turbos are reaching peak pressure with the stock intake based on waste gate control. Reducing intake restriction may allow the turbos to spool a little quicker perhaps reducing lag and adding a little low end torque (you will reach peak boost sooner). But max boost remains the same. You are not going to gain 32HP without increasing boost.

I don't buy that number.
Air intakes on turbocharged car won't affect much by itself.
But it does help if you have other mods.
Think of it as the nose strip that athlete uses. It just help them to have better air flow by lifting your nose skin up.
Unless you care about the finish look, I would just get the BMS Air Intake. Much2 cheaper and work the same way.

Nice choice. The BMS has a nice sound though don't expect tremendous gain.
