Hey Guys, thanks for all the great responses about turboing my Celica...now I have another question...

-do cold air intakes really help performance?...or do they just sound cool? (No pun intended:))...

-is it worth the price?...and where do you get them??

- - -i found one on ebay, w/a k&n filter for $113.00...

-also how is the hp increase?...I assume the engine likes these guys b/c it gets more air to it??

***Let me know what you think in general about cold air intakes...***

I have an injen short ram intake, And when i was at the dyno here with one of my buddies, i asked the guy working this same question, and he said honestly all intakes are different for every car. Don't know if thats true, But whatever you thinks best for your car.
