I was wondering if anyone is using the intake pipes with the stock air box?

 

I have the M2 pipes.
I have only installed the rear Turbo pipe/ the longer one.

I wonder if this is causing my rear turbo to be so strong now. I have not installed the small or primary one yet.

However, since I added the pipe, the rear turbo now has a internal leak. Smokes a little after a wot run or highway run. Would having the factory front accodian pipe and the M2 hard pipe on the secondary possibly cause this?

 

i doubt it...i was told that just going with the stock air box but with piping is the a good way to go...maybe your turbo is leaking due to mileage? or improper cooldown...unless you got a t timer

 

Yes I have had a timer since a week of owning my 7.

The rear was blown last year and a used cartriage was put in. I totally regret doing this.

The pipe does look good since I have the M2 IC polished as well.

Stock air box is not all that great unless u do the poor-man's CAI, with or with out the aluminum piping.

 

haha i'm already at my mod limit before ecu...i got a DP and now an N1, and i'm already spiking to .8 bar religiously. Next mod will probably be a fluidyne. After that I'm gonna get the clutch flywheel kit
