By ensuring that the intake heat shield is open on this side it also means that vehicles being tuned to stage 2\/3+ have a reduced risk of being restricted with them pulling in a greater quantity of air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTemperature and volume of air supplied to your vehicles engine that is compressed by the turbo charger has a better effect on performance when cool as this is to provide the engine with more oxygen (denser air), thus improving the combustion in each cylinder. In addition, by regulating and reducing the air temperature, it also increases the reliability of an engine by keeping the AFRs (Air Fuel Ratios) in each cylinder at a safe level, which in turn can increase an engines power due to the air being cooler. A bigger bang is then created within the cylinder, providing the correct amount of fuel is added. This can equate to an increase in BHP and torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s worth noting that this induction kit offers a massive amount of air to the EA888 engine, which is a must for anyone looking to push the performance when tuning to stage1, stage 2 and beyond.
