In Reply to Intense Performance Stage III *OR* Turbo-City Dual Intake? posted by David (carterdm) on February 29, 2000 at 15:57:03
Turbo City looks like a nice unit, but by design will suck warm air from the top of the engine.
The Intense Performance III will too, but by being located more to the side will get cooler air (IMHO) than the Turbo City. But still warm air. However, the IP III is, by location, more susceptible to road grime and moisture/water.
Warm air isn't bad, just not as good as cold air.
Best solution is the Intense Performance kit with the cold air intake add-on or the Turbo City unit with a ram-air hood.
I love the look of the ram air hood on a D. Up until now, though, the intake units I have seen to go with them didn't inpress me with their filtering ability. The Turbo City looks like a real good unit for a ram air setup.
