Nice find! I will link on main page

Looking at the P-norm curves, here's my rough attempt at comparing the powerbands

rpm	Stock intake	PRL	Eventuri	GruppeM (day 1)	GruppeM (day 2)	Infinity Design (day 2)
3000	178	185	195	196	195	198
4000	237	245	248	255	249	259
5000	277	290	298	306	299	308
6000	311	330	338	347	339	346
6500	335	348	358	363	354	357
(average)	268	280	287	293	287	294
(avg vs stock)	-	+12	+19	+25	+19	+26

Might be a stupid question, but are these intakes for the FL5 all direct fit for the DE5 also? That Infinity Design looks pretty darn solid.

There's some question as to whether or not the side intake scoop on the Gruppem will bolt up nicely. Theoretically, all the rest will, as they leverage mounting points originally intended for common parts.

Interesting. I wonder what about the PRL leaves it far behind the rest of the (way more expensive) options.

full disclosure: I haven't watched the video

Some of the other options replace the OEM rigid plastic section that bridges the inlet pipe to the intake. PRL doesn't offer a replacement for that section and I wonder if that obstructs some flow.

Anyone have the eventuri? I'd like to see a measurement in length and opening diameters for this piece

Installed the PRL HVI and I hear a sort of whistle/high pitch whoosh sound during induction mid-high rpm range right before the typical higher pitch turbo sneeze/whoosh at shifting.

Is this normal or do I have a leak somewhere? I already made sure all my connections/couplers were tight though.

I feel like even a small leak would be a noticeable change in drivability, and throw codes.

Call me crazy but to me it sounds like you're describing the sound a turbo makes. I would expect an intake to exacerbate turbo noises.

After shipping, 4.3% import tax, and whatever state sales tax applies, this seems to be a much better price than I've seen from anywhere else:

Wow, the 3000-4000 rpm range has some big gains on that Infinity Design intake. Thought I would purchase an intake just for the sound but a solid 20 hp in normal driving conditions would be rad.

Blackhawk is very interesting. Check out some of their wheels. I think some of it is offset by shipping/customs, but ~$600 a wheel for forged 19" Volks is insane. That's 50% off anywhere else I could find online. Seems too good to be true.

As for the GruppeM, I started a thread about that not too long ago. I ended up talking myself out of it. I never could confirm the entire intake assembly is a direct fit for our cars. There's a component that goes down inside the front bumper, and that part at least looks significantly different on the FL5 vs the DE5.

But somebody's gotta be the first to try!

Just wanted to report that the PRL HVI is awesome. Nice whooshy noises
