Okay, now that the GM tune is getting closer to becoming reality I think its time to plan other mods. According to an article by GMTS today, they said, " we’ve heard that if you toss on a complete aftermarket intake (cold side piping to charge air filter) you’ll instantly pick up the extra 15hp that the Stage 2 kit will bring you and maybe plus some."

What exactly is this referring to? Obviously the intake to the turbo, then what?....the piping from the turbo to the intercooler and then the piping from the intercooler to the intake manifold?

 

I would think this would refer to Term2's setup, CAI, both CP's & a bigger intercooler.

 

Yup. Full charge pipes hot and cold side a bigger intercooler and an intake

 

New charge pipes and a Cold Air Intake system...

 

That would definetly get peoples attention and would allow or stuff to be under warranty.

 

So a new intercooler is not required?

 

Stock is fairly good, however I would think you would get more power yet if you would upgrade the IC, it would be another good thing to do...
