is a front mount going to make my car slower? i got intake, exhaust, tespipe, chip, forge dv/bov.

[A4ringedONE8T]

Yup, thats why they dont come with one from the factory! lol

Ok now for a real answer, no, it will not make it slower. It will help regain power you already have by keeping IAT's lower and preventing heatsoak

[Greek Yayo]

ok what size/brand do you recommend. (i gota stock tubo still)

[A4ringedONE8T]

ER Sport, ER Comp, or Racetec

Did you read this?

yes it will make it slow, more drag!

seriously though, its made the biggest difference in power besides a chip for me.

Even on a K03 you will see a slight gain because the IAT's will be a bit lower. I saw a 5 degs of timing gain when I put a FMIC kit on my B5 back in 2001.

I would recommend a Racetec or a ER Sport. The ER sport can be ordered anodized black if your looking for a stealth look. Both of those are designed for the stock K03 or K04 setup.

Yea, between this and the other thread I think you need to read the stickies.

Racetec is good

Racetec is good

that is a HUGE core (for k03/k04 applications). is it going to fit behind a stock (non usp) bumper?

[Molotov]

It is tall, but only 2" thin.

[Papachristou]

correct, its 380 cu in i believe and the er sport is 350 cu in... my racetec fit just fine behind the stock bumper
