Of course it did. They have a product to sell lol

Non-si here and I got about a 10whp difference with the T.I.P. added. Tuned by Drob.

The thing I don't get. Maybe Derek could shed some light ...
- The W1 is not maxed on a base model. If more air was required, it could (?) be provided.
- The limitation is in the fuel system (not enough time for the fuel to mix well enough with the incoming air charge)
- The TIP allows for more air to pass, possibly on less turbo effort.

How is more air beneficial to power output, as long as a specific setup is not "air limited" ?
Could it have to do with the turbo needing "less work" to provide the same amount of air, so added power is a side effect of reduced back-pressure (or something relevant - trying to keep it simple) ?

I know this is irrelevant to the RV6 , although knowing if there is value in adding bolt-ons is useful information nonetheless.

A turbo is just an air pump, the easier it can pull air the more efficient it will be. If you have seen the stock tip it is small And not a smooth flow. Especially in lower rpm when fuel isn't maxed out but the turbo is struggling to pull air in. The more air the more fuel, until it's maxed out of course.

Sure, but additional WHP is not made in low rpm, or when the fuel is not maxed ... right ?

It depends on the power band, some cars the power drops off before redline

I felt an increase in power with the TIP on stock turbo, spoiled up quicker just felt stronger. So with a larger turbo with more airflow I'm sure it will add something.

You guys are talking about that 27won intake that mounts to the turbo?

Yes

So the cd was 0.29 and the frontal area was 21.9, the gear ratios you can find online but remember the 2020 has different gear ratios. The curb weight you have to google for your body style as well. Also google wheel size calculators to get the height of your tire setup. Hope this bit helps. Best of luck

Where do you get the hardware if you don't mind sharing.

Went well every thing went in only issues were a broken oring on the breather but first startup went well

Remove fab they do a lot of stuff for the type r but the bolts size and thread are the same for the Si/sport too
