Question

Hi guys,
I fitted a samco silicon inlet pipe & K&N pod filter to my '99 scooby & i'm just wondering if this will up the boost at all?
Also should i get the unichip i'm currently running retuned?

Cheers
Justin

No it won't. In fact the boost is controlled by the wastgate. The pipe is useful to let the cooling water flaw better where there is the intersection of the two into one (Y). This accelerates the water into the pipes that reaches the intercooler faster. The filter lets just absorb more air into the intake.
