New TID Idea....with pics!!
Hey everyone this is a picture of a TID that I happened to come across from one of my dsm friends. I saw it on his car and thought, that would fit my car perfectly. So after ordering one and trying it, you can see just how well it fits in there for a car running a aftermarket single turbo. It is a 4" inlet and a 4" outlet. Price was only $69, made from aluminum. Pm me for details cuz I'm not sure if I can post up here where I got this from.

Uh it's a different idea to use...and its new because I haven't seen anyone else on here have one. The TID shown is for a dsm, but as you can see it fits perfect for our cars.

Holy crap! I dunno if I'd call that a TID. That's just a monsterous filter with a couple inches of tubing attached!

I paid 14shipped for my Prelude intake. 15-20 minutes to cut it to fit and it was done. It's cool that you found something that will work though. Maybe the time and effort you save is worth the extra 50 bux to some. It's a good tip.

If you want to do a little more fabbing then go cold air like I did and get the filter out in front of the radiator support. 3" hole saw fits between the back of the right headlight and side of the radiator perfectly.

OK, maybe it's just me, but I don't find any reason to go into such drastic measures in building a "cold-air intake" when you have it all going through the turbo and into the INTERCOOLER. They whole idea behind an intercooler is to cool the intake charge as much as possible. The only thing that you have done there, was add more restriction and charge-time with all that piping and bends.

What I was trying to say is that the 5* cooler air will be off-set by the restriction of all the bends and piping. These bends and piping will also off-set charge time. Take it as you will.

My only problem with taking the air from down in the bumper is that the filter would end up right behind the FMIC (hot air coming out the back off it). As for the wheel well I thought about it also but it would have been more piping and more bends to get it there. I choose where it is for 2 reasons. First, it was the shortest distance to get the filter out of the engine compartment. Second, I figured if the stock air box and inlet duct get air from in front of the radiator support then why not get it from there again. As a bonus I was able to trim the black plastic cover for the AC evaporator and use it to hide that ugly *** S4 mass air flow.

You're wrong. Unless you make a complete hash of it, that's simply not what happens. And there is significantly more than 5deg difference between ambient air and engine bay air. That should be pretty obvious...

Old *** thread but just curious, did anyone do a writeup on this?
I am thinking about get getting an NA intake pipe off of ebay and doing this but was there a definitive answer as to what do to with the lines coming off the intake? Not quite sure what do, since I will be retaining the stock BOV.
