    I've been browsing for an intake for the S8, and so far, it appears most run the SRM intake. In doing a search for the Boosted Creations intake, I found zero mentions. Is anyone running this intake? I like the look of it better than the SRM but I don't want to be the guinea pig.

    Had to look it up as I've never seen it before. I don't believe their power figures for one second. There are much less expensive options if all you're after is some sound.

    What separates the srm from the others as it actually includes larger turbo inlets. The others simply attach to the factory inlets.

    None of the intakes are better than stock on an S8. I ran no different times in same conditions.

    Not just after sound. Just ordered the DS1 tune and I want to let the engine breathe better. But I keep hearing that stock is best which is hard to believe.

    Yeah any decrease in pressure ratio should help turbo life span and helps expand its compressor map. A study was done by Garrett, can’t find the link anymore for some reason, but the result was that they gained a a lbs/min in flow rate up top which should equate to a noticeable gain in vehicle performance. Obviously it becomes more pronounced the more power that you push as any restriction becomes more magnified, but in theory even running stock you should see some improvement.
