hi guys just wondering what the best intake options are at the moment im full stock but with the k&n panel filter? although its all cold air i feel it has to be restricting air flow since that front intake is the only intake and is only about the size of a sandwich, if anyone has any personal before and after feedback id be keen to hear it, thanks

Stock airbox with k&n filter will do the job. Until you over the 220 at the wheels mark. Then all you need is a cold air infeed to the bottom of the box

Something like this was all that was needed for 300kw at all wheels. This before the cold air intake piping attached

Stock airbox with ralliart panel filter did the trick for me.

I don't have any data but even if you supply cold air before the I/C compressing air heat it up a lot and it's the job of the I/C to cool that air down so getting a better I/C will get you more result than cold air intake.
Ideally you would measure the temp after I/C and compare after mods.

In the video above air temp after I/C is the same with any set up (42°C).

Cold air is more important on N/A than turbo.
