MSR Intake for M2
Hi Folks,
I just got an update that MSR now has an intake for the M2 in production - like the ones they make for the M3/M4 and M5/M6 - true cold air. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it or was involved in the R&D. Looking to lower my IATs and the AFe is a heat soak monster. Alternate suggestions welcome. https://www.facebook.com/MSR-Perform...1169507364112/ Thanks! |

Its been in development for a while now.
I follow a fellow M2 owner on IG that has kept me in the loop and I have been in contact with MSR owner also regarding the development who is very responsive and has answered all the questions I have sent him about the development. Was lucky to get some sneak peak pics also. I understand hey were in final stages not long ago. I am waiting to see whp numbers and IAT temperature readings to decide if I would buy. Piece looks great, but I am more interested in function over form, and as many have said here the IC has been shown to be the limiting factor in our cars hence why I still haven't pulled the trigger on any of the Intakes on the market right now. They all look beautiful but not sure about the real gains of them over the stock design. And I am not talking about a pull or two on a dyno, I mean numbers of IAT during a hot track day would be the perfect info. Run a session on a stock intake and then install the aftermarket intake and run a second session in a 85-95 degree weather.

A good intercooler will be more important than a cold air intake but the factory airbox is only intended to flow a certain amount. When increasing boost levels and increasing the overall flow, the airbox will be a limitation.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. To clarify, I'm already running full bolt-ons, including the Wagner EVO II Competition Intercooler. Also, upgraded intercooler pipes, turbo inlet and stage 2 turbos. Even running methanol injection on the street. Map 3 for daily (up to 18 psi) and Map 6 when running race fuel (up to 23 psi).
Thus, looking for ways to get colder air into the intake, even thinking about wrapping all metal intake pipes with thermal reflective wrap. |
