Should I get the full Protomotive intake system?

I currently have the proto fuel system (rails, 60lb injectors, lines, Ford Maf, dual inline 044 Boch pumps). However it is wedded to the Evo intake which is not a bad set up but my car would breath/spool up much faster w/ the proto hard pipe flowing down to the dual air filters located next to the IC's.

I will be staying w/ Evo clubsport IC's and my GT3076/AR 63 turbos and external wastegates.

It isnt cheap (and my priorities have really shifted away from cars and towards my family....wife is preggo w/ second child). However I am getting a good deal.

But I have also heard there are rubbing and other issues.

Thoughtful opinions are thus solicited, thank you.

At the very least you should do the upgrade ..... I have it. Or you could talk to Markski as well. He has some great stuff as well.

I'm thinking you are going to need whatever you can to keep that little pesky black pump gas Porsche in your rearview mirror...

in hind site i would do the evoms setup... although the proto looks cool
the stock intake works real well look at the 60-130#'s the EPL cars are running

My biggest concern is that the filters pick up a LOT road dirt. At worst they may introduce a lot of contaminants in your engine. At best, they need a lot of maintenance.

It does of course remove a lot of convoluted intake piping.

I think my 18g's are starting to choke because of the stock piping... I'm only at 1.3-1.35bar...
