Need Intake Suggestions!
I need help with my intake set-up. My original plan was to do a turbo swap on the car but decided to go NA. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a set-up. I am willing to change the intake manifold, go carb, itb, or stick with the stock set-up and get bolt ons. please help me out!

Have you upgraded your exhaust system? Redoing the intake won't help a lot unless you also redo the exhaust. Install a good catback exhaust system (RB makes a good choice) and then do the intake.

yeah i was thinking a corksport set-up with a good filter. Then i was going to make something to get as much air as possible into that area. Is there anything else i can add? I am also gonna do injectors and a S-AFC2.

ITB's would be the way to go if you had tons of $$ (and someone to tune it) but i would rather save up for a port job on the motor and full standalone.

@ pipnorcali
no they one you have is better and you have higher comp rotors (s4-142hp s5 -160hp)
the awr one is nice but waay to much money
my set up isnt done yet (waiting for header wrap and hks filter) the piping is from corksport
that my airbox (im going to run a cold air set up like nick1986's)

Yeah i got the s5 setup. I might make a custom intake setup, dont know yet.
i have a throttle body ready to get ported. And i was thinking of running a turbo2 intake manifold or one off the REW motor.

i have a question about the s5 intake manifold as well....sorry if im thread jacking.
i read a little thing on swaping out the s4 intake for the s5 and was wondering if it was more beneficial to do that or to swap out the entire s4 for a s5 engine?
and i have another question about removing the washer fluid box..what would that do?

That would be the intake for the air pump. You can put a K&M breather filter for a V8 directly on the pump to eliminate that problem.
The Corksport intake looks fine, but I don't like the sharp bends, they should have used radiused bends. It probably also heat soaks from the exhaust, which could loose you power.
One thing to consider, has anyone actually shown that it makes any more power than stock? You could be spending the money just for the shiny metal, not for any performance advantage.

I'm not convinced that a cone filter, air box and source of cold air is actually any better than stock, since it has a source of cold air already. You probably won't see any boost in performance, at least not a significant one.
