As usual ImagineAuto and EVO like to test and test and retest before any product is ever released. The new EVO intake for the TT is no exception.

We spent the day putting out fires and when the smoke cleared in the shop we made a b-line for our dyno. The first test was done on a 02 TT that is owned by one of our employees. We wanted to establish numbers on a truly stock car. I have to say Scott's car is about as stock as it comes..Well maybe except for the cup holder. hilarious Any way we did about 10 base lines to make sure we had a real number. After that we undid the air box and reran the car. The results were the following. All test were done on a 500SE AWD Mustang. This is what we have in house. The base numbers are as follows:
353.7 AWHP
338.6 AWTQ

Intake installed the results were as follows:
368.6AWHP
353.7AWTQ



Can you say 15HP increase to the wheels, mind you that is all four and 15TQ to all four wheels. We ran the same test 10 times and netted a single HP in-between runs. It was very consistent...Sorry about the gas level Scott



Now, on the same day almost at the same time EVO was dynoing a test mule. All their test were done on a 248C DynoJet. Rear shaft uncoupled and on RWHP figures. Test mule is the GT800 package. Same set of circumstances..base line runs 10 times, airbox runs 10 times..the base line figures are as follows:

Base line
656.9RWHP

Tested with intake:

Intake
732.2RWHP!!! That is a 75.3 increase. No joke folks. Think the intake from the factory is not restrictive. Think again.



More test....This time on a stage II

Baseline

437RWHP
455RWTQ

Test with Intake
447.0RWHP
474.3RWTQ

Gains were 10HP and 19TQ! Remember this is to the wheels.



If anyone has any questions or want the dyno sheets faxed or emailed just let us know.

More to follow!

 

where do i sign up?
will it void the warrantee?

 

No it will not void the warranty. Drop me a call in the morning and I will get one rolling your way. 913 310-9927

 

what the gain with the GIAC stage I?

 

It will make about the 15 and 15.

 

Pictures and cost. What do you think it will do on a GT2 stock? thanks carl

 

Is the new intake's air filter the same size as the OEM filter?

When will the new intake be available...and the cost?

 

Those are some mighty impressive numbers. Not only are there significant HP and TQ gains, but the power comes on faster (particularly in the stock car). Mine is already in transit -- thanks Stephen!!!

What's the part cost??? How long to install? Cost installed?

 

The intake is available now. Just drop me an email and I will get one coming to you. The results on the GT2 would be similar to the stage II car. Although the stock 996TT is not far off. I suspect no less than the 15 and 15 we have picked up on the test mule here.

Install is a snap. We did it on the dyno in about 10 minutes. Nothing to it. Undo a clamp unplug the MAF and roll it out. I can walk you through install as well.

Please email for the cost. I hate posting prices on the boards. Cheapens the meaning of the post.

 

Here is a picture on my test mule.

 

I ordered mine last week.

Great work Stephen!

 

All in a days work. My pleasure.

 

With stock exhaust, is there any difference in the sound quality or level from the engine?

 

There was a little, not much though. You can hear the intake howl a little more with the deck lid open. Thats it though.
