I got the BMS open setup and I think it's fine. Love the sound and really think it compliments the JB4/SpeedBooster combo.
Oh, and I love the sound! |

How about without a tune? I want longevity more than a few more horsepower at the upper end.

Most drop-ins claim to ONLY provide less airflow restriction, but none say they provide less filtration. I can comprehend how they do that based on my observation of what a stock filter looks like after some miles on it. Mine had a concentrated area of debris all centralized where you would expect, but the remaining area of the filter was almost pristine. Increasing the area of the filter that can use the air would also increase the effectiveness of the filter. With this BMS open-area configuration, I expect that I will not see one area of the filter getting so disproportionately clogged than any other. We'll see if that holds up, but with a JB4 addon, I think my motor will benefit from the increased availability of intake air. And I do trust the BMS air filter will filter out the baddies. I really think that mods already in place determine the benefit of other/supporting mods. Sometimes the cart pulling the horse does work, but usually not. I do think that a JB4 would equate to the cart pulling the horse w/o more available air, and saying that, a FMIC is going to be my next upgrade. Then, chargepipe, then downpipe, then..... Map?

STR8-6IX is right about high pressure in front of the car and hood and BMW stock air box being the best option. If you can get a proper scoop to ram air into the stock air box with a high flow drop-in, that is the best bet. Tune or not.
A bigger plenum on the air box might actually help and I think that's why aFe intake claims 30bhp bump in power which btw is 4.5 whp. Not an unreasonable claim nor is that noticeable or worth 500 bucks. So all in all stock air box wins with a K&N drop-in filter

Here I am always putting 94 octane gas so I thought that map 5 would be able to detect it and give the best performance over map 2 limited boost

I won't even try map2 because of the crappy gas we have out here. Map 2 may even give me a higher boost but that power will be lost due to timing getting retarded. Plus I'm on a stock chargepipe and don't want to push my luck too far. |

I added this intake and am now running JB4 Map 1. I'm waiting on doing a catless downpipe to run Map 2. For me this was mainly a mod for sound, which you can hear the turbo a bit more over stock. Also the other benefit is you can clean the filter yourself. So far I have not had any issues with it. I would have to say that the design is alot nicer and cleaner compared to the BMS intake. Prior to the K&N intake I had a BMS intake and I hated how unfinished it looked. This K&N system looks nicer with the air box shroud that also seals the box to the underside of the hood.
