@@fusrodahing1993 yes, the turbo inlet is supposed to change the sound, but because I installed them at the same time I couldn’t tell you what the difference is.
@@fusrodahing1993 Yes, more suction sound because the engine is taking in more air due to how much wider the inlet is. Very pronounced with the open air intake.
I remember installing an Injen CAI on my old scion tc... I remember the install being a lot easier than whats involved in this car. But I am liking the end product 🙌🏼
Did mine today. Taking off the stock inlet and putting the forge one was easy for me. I used a mini wrench to remove two bolts on the oem inlet. Very little force needed.
When i put my afe intake in I watched this so thank you for the tutorial. I also had a bit more oil than you sitting in my turbo inlet, hopefully its nothing to worry about. Im certainly no mechanic so hopefully someone else can give some input. Also i wish the afe turbo inlet came with hex like the forge, instead of reusing the old hardware. I had a hell of a time getting the bolt near the coolant tube back in.
Cheers for making this video. I kind of forgot to do it when I did my K&N intake. All the open box intakes sound pretty much the same. Also not a fan of BOV sounds and think the loudness after intake is more then enough.
The oil residue is from the top driver side breather port where there is no catch can. There is a tube that goes directly to that intake from the valve cover. No worries its normal.
@@4drturbo85 yeah and I thought of that after your comment. It wasn’t a ton of oil, especially after 20k miles, so I’ll just stick with the single catch can. I’m just glad to understand how it got there. Much appreciated!
The enclosed Sxth would be the better option , anything open is just a step backwards unless your planning water/meth injection and intercooler upgrade to keep air temps low . That octane learning and the Ngrin button are the worse decision Hyundai made with these cars .
I get the idea a closed box is better for cooler air, but it’s been tested and once the car starts moving the AITs are no different between an open and closed intake. The only time it might be an issue is if you’re sitting still idling for a while, but again, once the car is moving air through the engine bay there is no advantage to a closed box.
Much props to you buddy I'm glad to see some k.h.a.r.t upgrades. Just got done building a theta 2 looking for about 500hp but I'm glad to see some elantras I'm planning on throwing a turbo on my 07 elantra soon

After installing the Boomba BOV on mine last week (in 114* heat of the garage here in AZ, would not recommend) I'm wondering if I really wanna deal with another impossible bolt like the 2 on the BOV. It seems like Hyundai went out of their way to but the bolts in the most ridiculous places for parts people were surely going to modify. That being said, is this unit compatible with a BOV? The tubing that goes to the stock BOV had to be removed and they gave a plug to block the port on the other end of the hose by the intake tubing.
I know right? I was thinking the same thing as I looked at the coolant line. There is plenty of room where they could have curved the hardline around the bolt, but instead it runs down right in front of it. Very annoying. The intake is compatible with a BOV. You just put a plug over the outlet on the intake where the hose normally runs to.
@@n-power-automotive ok great. thanks. I’m not sure if i wanna go that far yet. the BOV has a pretty nice ****whoosh**** to it as is. we will see. thanks for the video
Any info on if this breaks warranty I was told when I bought my car it would but my buddy with a konna went to a different Hyundai dealer and they said it was fine
There’s a law that prevents dealerships from voiding warranties unless they can prove the modification is the cause of the problem, but some dealers don’t care and will push it and who wants to hire a lawyer, right? So it does really depend on the dealership. If you’re scared they will, you can always take it off before bringing it in for a warranty repair.
I was leaning towards the SXTH element intake but the forge is kinda changing my mind. I was looking for the turbo inlet on their page but couldn’t find it. Is there a link to it ?
I liked the Takeda one most given it stays closed but I’m staying stock unless I find a shop that can give me at least a 100+ or so upgrade. At that point I’ll pay for everything needed vs buying parts here and there that could void warranty for a 2-12 performance improvement.
Oil catch can only deals with any crankcase blowby oil not the oil you had in the inlet that oil would be weeping from your turbo's compressor side oil seal. But if you have not removed that intake before it could be from before you installed the catch can. Easy way to check if you have oil leaking from your turbo compressor seal is check the pipe to the throttle body.
@@n-power-automotive Highly unlikely that your turbo has a leak , I think it would residual oil precatch can but I'm sure where those lines on the new intake come from so check that intake every once and a while for any oil .
It will be harder to octane learn if it learns at all because your sucking in hot air from your engine bay! If it’s the sound you want well i guess you have to sacrifice performance!
Can you record a video with the BOV recirculation valve unplugged (you need to cap off the intake with a 7/8 rubber chair leg cap) It'll result in a BOV sound for free essentially. It was a common mod for the 1.6t's and works for these cars too. I'd love to hear how it sounds. Might be enough to not buy a BOV. Let me know if you're confused and I can send you a video. Is a cheap simple mod that replaced the need for a BOV depending on how loud you want it
@@r3games1985 that intake air runs through an intercooler before it goes into the throttle body, so open and closed intakes have essentially zero difference in temperature. Basic stuff. 🤣
Not entirely true. There’s been testing and when the car is moving there’s no difference in air intake temperature between an open intake vs a closed box. Now, sitting still for a long time idling yeah there’ll probably be more heat soak, but probably still not enough to really feel a difference.
