I'm running the auto specialists Hart style inlet on mine but if doing it again I would swap for a escos small turbo inlet for a more OEM fitment. Fyi the escos small turbo inlet is the best flowing of the original cossie inlets.

My guess is the hart style will out perform the st escos inlet at higher power levels say 500+.
Do bear in mind that i,m just an enthusiastic home bodger and get all my info from the interwebs so could be complete tosh.


I am running the AS hart style with good results - i have mild porting, ab07 inlet cam and the plenum. MSD said it was breathing rather well.
I guess the plenum would contribute towards that. With a old school setup on a L8 & TT T35 i,m making 360bhp at 21psi on msd's rollers. So not to shabby.

Nice!
Should be a weapon that mate with a good flowing head and the efr turbo setup. Your going to have some fun.
I'd say go for the hart style mate with that spec, should help get the best from it.
