@HTP AWESOME!!

Is that machined billet aluminum that I see?

[m249saw]

What a tease but well worth the wait im sure. Hopefully the ECU relocate is not far behind this.

Pictures of the kit will be posted tomorrow. Be ready to have some extra space under the hood. We needed the room for some big things..........

Yes sir! Complete with a retaining lip machined on the inside along with a snap ring on the outside to keep the honeycomb locked with no chance of it coming out all while maintaining the largest inner diameter possible.

So Matt, what will the OD of the piece be? Will a 3" ID piece of silicone still fit?

Outer diameter is 3.050 & the bead is 3.100 OD. It's a tighter fit but 3" silicone fits just fine :-)

I remember when I was in the Army they used to say about Polk, it's not hell but you can see hell from there. My best assignment was overseas in Germany back when we hated Russia, fuck that desert shit!! I'll fight in the snow thank you very much. lol

Matt is off with the family on a well deserved vacation this next week. The following week when he's back we'll be posting release information about both the MAF and battery tray and will be updating the online store. Thanks for your patience while Matt's off the grid enjoying some family time!

[smoogs12]

@HTP

[burn813]

[802MS3]

[dantes5823]

[shadesofgray19]

[m249saw]

I was told probably 1 month behind the release of the battery tray

[802MS3]

HTP, does your 3" inlet have a mounting bracket pictured here?

Our 3" inlet does not have the bracket due to the varying placement of "big" turbos.

[Monotonous ONE]

Noodz of katie?


Or bikini shots or anything at all?

So is it secured only by the coupler to the turbo? Will your MAF housing/intake secure anywhere?

The MAF housing will have a mounting bracket to secure everything.

Mine isn't secured anywhere.

Never had any problems with it.

I have one of his "old" intakes and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, that they will stay put as long as you properly secure the coupler

[I<3Groceries]

My entire intake, HTP 3" inlet included, is not mounted anywhere. Tclamps holding everything secure just fine.

@HTP any eta on the inlet/MAF?

Well, we have a couple of different designs to fit several different price points. I guess we're just gonna have to post up the options and see what interest there is and move forward from there.

Updates on this? Got your battery tray and it's lonely with all that open space around it...

[smoogs12]

I just ordered your battery tray for the MS6. Haven't received it yet. I'm going to get the XS Power Group 51 sized battery. What I was hoping you would consider is doing a 3.5" version of your turbo inlet pipe. What I figured was that it would probably be too hard to make a 3.5" pipe bend tight enough. So, what you could do would be to just have the 3.5" pipe be straight to the vacinity of the turbo, and use a 90-degree 3.5" to 4" reducer elbow.

The only problem with that idea is that 3.5" silicone OD including the clamp is close to 4". What I had possibly imagined was that to open up a bit of space would be to mod the battery tray so that there is no side where the TIP runs by. I did that with my stock plastic tray and my current 3" intake. I'm thinking that if I can get the 3" to fit, albeit tightly, using a wider battery, I probably could get a 3.5" to fit with the Group 51 battery even if I have to shave a bit of metal off it.

MAF update: I just talked to Katie. She said some other project moved ahead of the MAF. So she doesn't have an ETA right now.
