those are two different cars mang. you can use a cai for a charge pipe, and you probably have to add on a 90 degree bend. is your car even turbo?

 

probably not.

 

you could use it but itll have to be custom work and you need some where to put your bov

 

if you want to use an aluminum cai for a charge pipe you will have to either make an alluminum flange which is easy with alluminum. for you have to order it.

???? get rid of it for a short ram????? keep this in mind.....turbo compressor &gt;&gt; intercooler &gt;&gt;&gt; charge pipe &gt;&gt;&gt; throttle body....CAI's are too big big for low boost apps. you will need to fabricate a charge pipe from throttle body to intercooler....and intercooler to the compressor......SEARCH

 

yeah man, you dont use an intake when you're boosting. the IC piping goes right from the IC to the TB

 

wow did he really ask that question...i guess i take for granted my knowledge but i thought that was common sense

 

maybe if he asked about doing that for a charge pipe but **** can somebody shut this post down

 

Using your short ram for intercooler piping may save you $12, go to JCwhitney and piece together your bends u need to complete your piping. Also if im not mistaken the question he asked want if he could use it for intercooler piping, i think he was meaning if he still retains it? WTF i dont know i read it 3 times and didnt understand. Either way pull your bumper off and you can jusge for yourself which bends u need. Enough said someone lock this for real.

 

Full AEM CAI

 

i think what he means is can he use his aem cold air intake for the intake on the turbo inlet.

 

I dont think he's asking about using it for intercooler piping because why woudl he say something about swapping to a short ram, I give up this post is retarded.

 

dude, with your knowledge, please bring it to a shop to install or kiss your motor good bye

the reason your friend couldnt run a cai on his wrx was because the cai runs thru the same fender well that the intercooler piping goes thru. its not the same on a honda. you can run a cai on a turbo car but not the wrx with a front mount.

 

this thread is well on its way to being a "B3st Thrad eVaR!" nominee for 2003.

Actually, I just installed a CAI on a WRX w/FMIC. He's running a VF30 with the APS FMIC. You just have to carefully shoehorn the silicon connector thru the fenderhole and use a smaller/thinner K&N cone filter in the fenderwell. Boost response picked up noticeably in the mid/high rpm range.

 

you can fab it up to work i guess. most of the kits usually require you to go with their short ram intake or the provide a short ram with the kit. i was more or less giving the guy an idea of why his buddy said he cant run a cai on his wrx.

 

this is ****** great,, the kid was asking if he could run a cai to the inlet on his turbo,,,, what didnt anybody get here? why the **** would he rig the aem up on his **** if he "just bought a turbo kit" for his 99 si?????? shut this **** down...........haha
