Besides, an intake on a boosted car isn't nearly as crucial as an intake on a n/a car (performance wise).
im sorry but you are severely mistaken.
I didn't say it wouldn't benefit. I just said it wasnt as crucial on a forced induction motor as it is on a naturally aspirated motor.
Me breathing in with a mask on is not the same as someone blowing in my mouth with a hair dryer.
Boost is not the same as vacuum, ergo a boosted car doesn't need the 'breathing room' nearly as much as a n/a car.
Its actually the opposite. Most n/a cars today will see an average of 2-4 whp with an intake...and thats generous.
any FI vehicle will see at least 10whp from an intake if its computer wants to adjust to it.
the turbo needs as much air as it can possibly get so it can efficiently make its boost and hold its boost
