Hi Guys, just wanted to share a bit of information that could be useful for those running an upgraded turbo set up with the stock air box.

As you know the OE air intake has a scoop that feeds air to the resonator pipe, and on into the air box.

During my ongoing tuning I noticed the plastic rod that keeps the top and bottom separated kept coming out of place, not thinking anything of it I would just adjust it back into place and move on.

After my third revision log (boost increase) I started to notice under moderate to WOT that car started to perform poorly.

When this happens it would restrict the amount of air feeding into the system, thus giving a reduction in engine power which feels like a boost/vacuum leak.

After a trip to the local hardware store I found the following items worked to add rigidity to the scoop, therefore keeping it open for all of the glorious air to be breathed in.

1- 5/16 x 2.5in bolt
2- 1inch washers
1- 1/2 section of pex pipe cut to size big enough to support the top and bottom parts of the scoop
1/2 shrink wrap
1- locking t bolt w 5/16 thread pitch

Thank you DRob for your assistance w tuning as always.

@eVojlib What coupler are you using for the Airbox to PRL silicone tube? Looks like a better fit then the temp one I’m running.

@Mondo375 its the same as you only I have the HPS Coupler cut to size with the aluminum coupler hidden inside (also cut to size and all edges sanded smooth)

where did you get that carbon fiber tube from? Sorry for the 1 year later reply, but i finally got around to modifying intake on the RDX.

Not a bad upgrade for someone just wanting to tinker and prevent and collapsing. Maybe I will do it for shits and giggles. I think the (now defunct) PRL intake tube came with something to upgrade that piece.
