!!! GSG Motorsports CAI is in production !!!

[GhostSquadGarage]

Completely tested to my fullest standards and I sent the finalized prototype out for production today !
The sound is absolutely AMAZING !!!
The gains have been minimal per graphical data but the booty dyno don't lie !
MUCH improved throttle response and combined with the FMIC this thing feels like it got chipped all over again.

Our CAI will ONLY work with a FMIC installed.
The SMIC's will not support the design and in lieu of this we will be offering our FMIC at a more than reasonable price if you want to pickup the combo of both.
Also ATP is selling their FMIC for a great price as well, I believe around $750-$790 at different places. We will offer ours in the same ballpark for a limited time should you decide to pick it up as well.

I will have vids up tonight once I get done with some other projects.
Just keeping you guys updated !! This is the best thing I've made to date.

[johntesi]

Winnar winnar! Dyno plots? Looking forward to more explaination, in particular why an FMIC is a neccessity.

[Sanjman]

you said... a FMIC installed... so you're saying any FMIC will work with your CAI?

[GhostSquadGarage]

Because this is not routed the same as the CAI's that every other company has made.
This is routed down so it will scoop in actual fresh air from the lower passenger grill.
It's also been tested in rain situations and I have it setup perfectly so the MAF is protected and there is no risk of anything getting wet.
The passenger SMIC would be in the way of the location, so if you're looking to stay with the stockers then our intake pipe is your best bet as of now.
Yes this will work with the other FMIC's, not just ours so you have the option to choose what you will as long as the smic is removed you're good to go !

The dyno only showed marginal gains but I will have to redyno it once the final product is in. For the prototype I use less quality materials than I would in the full production models so that will reflect changes.

Now taking preorders on these as well. I'm sure they'll go out of stock faster than the intake pipe did [wrench] PM me or Laurence@gsg for more info on this.

Price? Wow this is the first time I am considering a "CAI'

[GhostSquadGarage]

I should have a price by the end of the week.
Have to wait to see what production cost is per the amount of units I'm having made.

[Quattro]

just a heads up, the intake is insane!!!

More torque, quicker acceleration and that was with running a cheesy intake filter and not the one they will be using for the kit.

In combination with the fmic, gains are great...trust me =D

[GhostSquadGarage]

Vidz0r !!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avH_-FofP88)

[Quattro]

works

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[quattrosaint]

Vidz0r !!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avH_-FofP88)

Sounds awesome. Is that with a DV instead of a BOV? Thanks.

[Quattro]

CAI + stock dv =D

[Alkemix]

Damn, would you say the DV and the induction noises are more audible with your CAI? That DV noise sounded like it could set off alarms.

[quattrosaint]

CAI + stock dv =D

thats sick, I bet it would sound even better with my Forge DV.

[Quattro]

Damn, would you say the DV and the induction noises are more audible with your CAI? That DV noise sounded like it could set off alarms.

The sound is a bit more noticeable, but not extreme of setting off alarms. If you are running an intake now, its basically the same sound with a bit louder woosh

[Phrost]

The growl/whoosh should be louder than any cole filter/short ram. The sound resonates down the tube to make it louder I guess, but engines have always been louder with a CAI (in a good way). Sounds sweet [:)]

[agkellyboy]

This could finally be the real 'cold air' intake I've been looking for. Hope to god it fits w/ the AWE FMIC

[Quattro]

^^ it should, should have no clearance problems =)

[mhjon2001]

I can't wait for pic's + dyno results. I've been debating about getting rid of my Carbonio recently.

[supamannn99]

finally, an intake that's actually outside of the engine bay.

[Quattro]

my evoms going out the door =D

[INTEGRATION]

Dang Jordan, your company is making some really sick stuff for our car! I love it!

[GhostSquadGarage]

Loving the response !!
The sound is definately more noticeable. I couldn't believe it at 1st either that it was still the stock DV, but since we all know Randy's car is pretty much all stock you can't argue with that [wrench] The whoosh is even better than the intake pipe. I guess the only drawback (if you can even call it that) is it will only fit with a FMIC. More reason to mod right ?
How about 2 pics to get you guys more excited ?
This took a WHILE to get right, where the design was actually improving airflow and pulling in the correct amount as well. You have no idea the amount of welding and testing and rewelding and rebuilding and structuring this fluid curve took.
Obviously the production piece will look a billion times better than this and the filter will be way better and more effecient than the crap that's on there.

Just look at the room you're going to have where the old stock box used to be. I'm trying to think of ideas to spice up that area as well but it looks pretty sweet just being empty IMO. I'm very much a minimalist mindset to begin with.

[supamannn99]

It looks good! I hope you sell this at a reasonable price. Everything else in the market is already ridiculously overpriced.

omg randy don't tell me this is your car. and that's the greddy fmic you were supposed to sell.

[vtracer20]

dyno + temp logs + price please

[CardNation]

Sounds amazing, hopefully the price will be reasonable!

I will definately be releasing this at a great introductory price for you guys !

That's the GSG FMIC, not Greddy. We're not bankrupt just yet [drive]
I don't remember if that is Randy's car or not. I don't think it can be since he's still stock

[eastwick897]

I'm liken it

[virgsa4]

I can't wait for pic's + dyno results. I've been debating about getting rid of my Carbonio recently.

I could probably take the carboio off your hands for you [:D]

Please provide dyno results + tempature logs + price, thanks. Also your vid sucks no offense, just way too much noise, if you could please do another one maybe on the outside. dont take offense to my comments.

[vtracer20]

okay sorry, i played it with headphones and the sound was better....

[supamannn99]

it sounds so nice. i've played it over 5 times already LOL. sounds like an aftermarket BOV

[GhostSquadGarage]

okay sorry, i played it with headphones and the sound was better....

Got these laptop speakers ?? hahahha
I'll get more factual data once the production models have arrived since the elements change with the better quality build and smoother design.

[vtracer20]

sounds good keep us posted

[reggaemylitis]

Looking forward to seeing more from this product! I've been delaying any kind of CAI purchase too. Sounds money so far! [up]

[Quattro]

hey jordan, are you anti christ? Just asking LOL

the sound, is very nice. I love it

[quattshot]

You could easily powder coat the piping textured black or satin black.
You could also fabricate a nice aluminum panel that will close off that open space with the tube running thru it.
I work for one of the largest powder coaters in S.Florida.
We are coating some BMW intakes in textured black. It gives it a completely OEM look.

[RedS-line]

looks awesome! unfortunately if it requires a fmic then im out. well at least i can always just pick up the intake tube...its on my list.

[jmars]

Yeah, bumming about the FMIC. I really didn't want to get one yet but I guess I'll have to just wait longer now.

Nice work GSG! Glad someone took the B7 raines

[4 black rings]

I think that is on there website for $289.00 but i could be wrong!

[GhostSquadGarage]

^^^The Turbo Inlet Pipe is, yes. (aka intake pipe)

[TrboPowr]

tried calling you guys today but never got a call back! you guys were out to lunch, better have been at IN N OUT since we dont have that on the east coast ;)

[Geoffafa]

damn, im running water/meth with my carbonio so i dont really worry about heat, but if i didnt id be all over this already

[NorcalPB]

I'm really diggin the design good work guys [up]

[mhjon2001]

I could probably take the carboio off your hands for you [:D]

Its your's lol.

[Quattro]

^with that money you could use towards the GSG cai and everyone is happy

Ihateoem nothing wrong with a cold air intake and meth! Sooo jealous I want my car to be on meth :)

[agkellyboy]

if it's the right price with logs displayed...unbeatable

[EuroA4]

Just curious...could this suck in water since its down so low and possibly hydrolock the motor?

[GhostSquadGarage]

^^^Nope. Already had that worry and with revisions and exact locating of the piece it's completely free of that.
Tested this for months in Washington for that reason alone, since it doesn't rain here in SoCal.
We noticed a little bit of water with earlier revisions of it but since the final one has been made and located it's been staying completely dry and worry free.

Obviously if you were to drive through like 3ft deep of water it's going to be submersed but if your taking your Audi boating regularly you probably shouldn't have an intake to begin with hahahah

[Geoffafa]

CAI FMIC and Meth? damn i might be worried about freezing my motor there lmao, i think its awaste of money for me at this point the fmic wont improve what my meth already does, id be spending big bucks for basically sound

[rnp614]

Blast, I regularly drive through something like 1-2+ ft of water since here in NO it floods like a mofo.

[GhostSquadGarage]

^^^AEM makes a piece that would prevent that as well.
Just throw it behind the filter and it prevents sucking in water even when submersed. As long as you're not WOT blasting through 3' deep puddles you're going to be fine.


id be spending big bucks for basically sound

You have an exhaust ? If so then you paid big bucks for sound.

[eastwick897]

I need this in my life right about now...How much longer until they're produced? rough estimate would be sufficient.

[GhostSquadGarage]

Going to be around $370 for the full setup.
The FMIC will be going on sale too for those that want to get both at the same time.
Either PM or give me a call to work it all out.
We're at about 3 to 4 weeks out from getting them in !

[Quattro]

its going to be baller!

[johntesi]

One thing I have been contemplating lately.. Does the length of this intake pipe not add some amount of lag?

[GhostSquadGarage]

I haven't had the chance to test on a 6spd, but Quattro will atest that it didn't lag one bit :) Maybe he was too giddy to even notice

[VZWalex]

wow great work guys! Hey Jordan replied to your email. thx!

[vtracer20]

so what exactly will be in this kit? a pipe and filter?

[GhostSquadGarage]

Yes, pipe, filter, couplers and t-bolts.
The full bolt on kit.

[vtracer20]

dyno plz and temp logs.

[mhjon2001]

where is the air going to be coming from exactly? from the way it looks the bumper is going to be in the way of the cone entirely, unless its near the the mesh. But as far as I know a CAI will normally get air from the ground, our car's have covers under our engine where no air is coming in. How will this intake have any gain over our OEM setup, where the air is coming from the hole in the passenger fender?

From what I understand it will be where the side mount is currently on a stock car, so the "ducting" that fed the side mount will be providing air to the filter which is the perfect location to have it. [up] to GSG for this design.

[GhostSquadGarage]

^^Yes sir !

[vtracer20]

any dyno #'s or temp logs done for this product as it's in production?

Hey guys first off keep up the good work. Don't mean to sound crass or unappreciative...but what about us folks who've (just) purchased your intake pipe? Please don't tell me that it was money down the drain [headbang]. I'd love to have this product but over $600 (products combined) on intakes is a bit outta hand.

[a4fsi]

Anyone wanna buy a GSG Intake pipe? [:D]

[GhostSquadGarage]

The intake pipe is a great product on it's own and will fit any application with or without FMIC and any aftermarket intake filter setups as well.
PM Laurence with your sorrows as I'm sure he will take pity on you :)
I'm out in the sun all day grinding and developing so I do not feel your pain ! hahahah

[Quattro]

What side mount are you talking about?

[Quattro]

The side mount, is the passenger side.

[mhjon2001]

The side mount, is the passenger side.

?? If your talking about that hole where the oem intake get's it's air from, how will the cone that's sittng behind the bumper going to air from there?

[Unleaded20T]

Can you sell just the pipe? I have everything else.

[Quattro]

read icemoles comment #62, basically sums it up.

[GhostSquadGarage]

CAI will be $375. (this is pipe AND filter so nothing else is needed)
The GSG TIP\Intake Pipe does NOT work with this setup as it is the complete package and thus you DO NOT need to buy both.

The CAI REQUIRES a FMIC to be installed on the car. Period.

FMIC will be reduced to $800 for people that are needing one still.
Don't forget this includes the upper piping AND a power steering cooler, both of which are not offered on other kits with the exception on AWE.
This will fit any other aftermarket FMIC's. I've tested on all I know except for Greddy but I'm confident it will fit on that as well as the piping seems to run the same as others.

Our CAI is the ONLY ONE on the market that actually pulls in fresh air and not heated underhood engine bay air. It pulls it fresh from the passenger bumper grill area so you can be assured temps are going to be over 40% cooler that is getting pulled into the engine than the conventional CAI's on the market.
Free shipping on the combo.

SOUNDCLIP - NO ENGINE MODS other than the GSG FMIC\CAI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avH_-FofP88

***I have a small number of initial units coming in and already have several presold quite a few so if you are interested in getting one out of the 1st shipment you might want to jump in soon.
These will be released the 1st week of December and ship out on the 2nd week just in time for Christmas. You WILL GET IT before the 25th if you order in time.
The next arrival of units is going to be sometime in late January so if you're not ready now then that's when I expect the next batch to be in.


6hp \ 5tq increase are the official dyno results.
The last one we did with the FMIC and TIP yielded 162hp\193tq.
Same setup but with the CAI in place of the TIP is 168hp\198tq.
The stock car put down 153hp\170tq so that is a total increase of +15hp\+28tq. That's around a 15% increase in power across the board.
Very sucessful results and around what I had anticipated. Given the amazing sound and proven performance this is going to be a must have for anyone looking to vastly improve their engine and overall just start to truely enjoy the car like it was brand new again.

can i get a credit from my t.i.p? i will return it and you can sell it to someone eles? : )

[GhostSquadGarage]

can i get a credit from my t.i.p? i will return it and you can sell it to someone eles? : )

If anyone with the TIP wants to upgrade to this please send me a PM and I will give you a further discount.
I didn't intend for this to be a replacement for that since so many people already have Evoms or want to keep the stock box and just need that little extra boost.
This is the complete solution and requires a FMIC but I'm here to make you happy and if you want it I will give you a discount as repeat customer.

[Quattro]

any of you socaler's wanna come check out the CAI, shoot me a pm and we can set something up!
