it helps the turbo to breathe, but again for every engine parts(aftermarket)...dont forget to re-set the p.c.u. some turbo will have a sudden p.s.i. drop w/ aftermarket air intake system. these confuses the p.c.u. but overall, its all good when p.c.u. is re-set.

true but a intake on a turbo still helps the factory is not that good is what ive heard
It really doesnt help much with mnor modds. the stock intake is restickive but really you wont gain anything noticable by an intake on a turbo car other than the sound of SPOOOLL
true...true..in my opinion, if you buyin intake for turbo...make sure its the whole system.( i.e. intercooler pipes / intake pipes and b.o.v.)filter alone aint goin to give you that boost. all you gonna hear is that loud air intake tract / spool. so, do the chemistry. free up the power by lettin the turbo breathe easier, but also find a way to spit excess air/gas out.
