AFE Power CAI fitted

More like forced in there. Bought it from a F30 friend who changed his mind. With a hand saw, coupler, T clamps, and a lot of sweat, finally am able to squeeze it in:


No time to test it out on the highway yet, but I would expect a louder sound on throttle more than anything else, oh, and that Tony Stark feeling of making something work…

Thinking ahead of a stage 2 tune and the AFE Power Intake looks like a candidate.

Glad you squeezed it in, but did it do anything at all to your numbers, i.e. dyno results?

Presume you didn't use the 'Scorcher' add-on they also sell that fiddles with the boost pressure?

No, I didn't have the Scorcher but I am using the TMC tuning box.
