I just put one of these on my re-built turbo, but can't tell you how it does cause I ran into a speed bump. up-pipes are worn so the donuts wouldnt' seal if I were to put it back together.
but will report when I do get in and and see how it works.

by the way, the one running the afe intake hates it, filter is restrictive, the minder will move about halfway up just by mashing the throttle in first gear.
