Hi there, who has installed an aftermarket intake pipe from air-box.
Has it made a difference much and do you require a tune?
Thanks

i have seen several of these prl inlet turbo pipe kits installed, mainly on test cars. One youtuber has the pipe kit, (video was the unboxing). As far as i know i have not seen any real videos or proven numbers. There is a group on fb called, Honda FK8 Civic Type R Product Reviews, there are a few posts about the pipe. I have both the prl hvi and prl titanium turbo inlet pipe on order. In my mind the pipe will increase the amount of airflow to the turbo, it'll wake up the boost gods for sure. Per prl site, the turbo inlet pipe does not require a tune, a tune is recommended to unlock the full potential of the pipe

I doubt there would be much of a power gain with the stock turbo, just an increase in spool and low end power. The big benefit is cooler temps coming from the intake. I need to buy a thermal imager or at least a measuring device. The stock thick aluminum inlet pipe gets incredibly hot.

I'm waiting on my inlet pipe and hvi as well. The HVI should be in by the end of the week. I'm curious how much I'll have to reduce tourque targets due to the increased airflow. I know the inlet pipe will definitely make the weak titty fuel pump Max out on my current settings. Just changing over to the the prl charge pipes maxed out the fuel. With the other two ill just start a whole new 93 dp/ic tune. Just increase the ignition timing at the top end at 190-210% air charge like I've been doing but leave tourque targets alone at the low 480nm setting. Do some pulls and see what happens. Then increase torque request until I hit the max I can.

I can't wait for my triple threat to be complete!

I too would like to see the results from someone that knows what they're doing and not some useless YouTube influencer
