Question Pettit TKT intake vs Apexi intake

ok guys so im really considering a intake. i want the car to breathe better but not hurt the motor at the same time. im stuck between the Pettit intake and the Apexi. ive heard both sides one saying the Pettit is the safest way to go and two saying the Pettit is just a joke go for the Apexi. my mods are Fluidyne radiator, Pettit AST tank, downpipe, Greddy catback. also i want to change the intake because i saw a slight crack in the stock airbox. So whats your suggestions!!!!!

My suggestion is to buy the one that comes with a heat shield, because the turbos are positioned pretty close to the intake.

Pettit.

Well, I can tell you this that Pettit is no joke; they know what they're doing.

I have the Apexi intake, however the Pettit version is probably better due to the heat shielding. In other words, you'd be taking in significantly cooler air with the Pettit kit. The Apexi kit is nice, but open to the engine bay, thus sucking in hotter air.
