well to be short about it..... absolutly. However you have to do everything else that goes with it i.e. Installing a complete engine management unit that DOES NOT need the MAF/MAP to work properly... this would also include a DEI ignition system, totaly adjustable FMU, basically everything youd need to make a full blown race car. Lets go over all the obstruction in airflow.... tell me if im missing something, im going from memory of disassymble/reassymble of my buddys car when i did his turbo swap.
First you have a 90 degree elbow right off the compressor housing. Then another 90, a "baffle" that has i think 3 hoses conected, one of which comes from the BPV, another 90, the MAF/MAP, the airbox/filter, and the bong that goes into another baffle. Are you seeing why you might wanna remove as much of this as possible??? The air first enters a shitty lil box, atm pressure pushes it thru the bong, into the airbox, thru the filter, out of the box and into the MAF/MAP, takes a hard right, thru a weird shaped housing, another hard 90 downward and another hard 90 backward just to get the compressor wheel. Now how much faster do you think you turbo would spool and how much less crap does the air have to touch and risk nasty heat transfer and how much weight is lost? Answers.... a little bit, A LOT, and a good 10 pounds. If i had my way id have a Hydracharger on that puppy sitting right behind the front bumper next to the front mount
