The only thing I gained from modifying my stock airbox was that the AFR leaned out a bit which added like another 5hp. Switching to a cone filter setup after that seemed to net me nothing. I also don't like to see the red tapering like the stock IX turbo. Hopefully 30+psi boost levels may be another story.

Chris, buy one already will you! The next "red turbo post" from you should be about YOUR dyno graph with a red!
