Sounds of Boosted Tech intake w/ mic in engine bay, check it out.
First off, for those of you wondering where the Boosted Tech intake actually ends up after all of that piping, it ends here (and yes, my bumper is dirty):

Anyway, here are some sound clips I recorded using a microphone right in the engine bay, a bit above the intake and near the turbo. Obviously, it's not nearly this loud inside the car, but the induction hissing is quite noticable and you do hear the woosh of the BPV if you back out of the throttle while on the boost. After driving around with the intake for a few days (and fully opening up the grille on that side) I do feel an improvement in throttle response- As for power, it may be a tiny bit quicker, I don't know- It certainly isn't slower. And with the crisp, cool air we had here in Boston today, the car certainly felt quite lively. Enjoy the sounds:
Accelerating and deccelerating, AIFF format:
