I got one of these too, can't say I noticed any difference since I only just put it on with a hypergear high flow turbo. It's just an easier option from installation perspective without costing an arm and a leg for HPI

Didn't have to grind anything either, matched the turbo fine and waste gate can open/close freely

In my previous r33 I have tried both bell mouth and split (long split, not the hks copy) setup without altering anything else, I must say I noticed better midrange response with the split setup- no dyno sheet to compare max power however but I didn't really care about what the max power was

Turbo was an r33 highflow with garret bb CHRA done by precision- it was a very responsive turbo

I know most people prefer bell mouth, and may think otherwise, but I'm just sharing my experience

Just to throw another variable in the mix... I have been pretty disappointed with a very popular brand inexpensive dump pipe. Apart from some alignment issues, just take a look at the opening where it connects to the turbo:

The wastegate flap on a hypergear turbo can foul if you have an aftermarket actuator which opens a little further than the stock one.

Keep in mind on a hypergear turbo, the turbine outlet is even larger, meaning that even the gasket opening will be slightly smaller than the turbine outlet diameter. It would be a good idea to have one made, or modify and existing one. The stuff coming out of china can be just too variable in quality and shape.

    • So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.
    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
