AFE Air Scoops paired with BMC drop in filters + Dinan Turbo Inlets

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Project of the day , installed the AFE Air scoops as well as the little red crash bar pop on cover 15 mins job , hopefully should make a nice difference in turbo spool , Ive got this paired with BMC filters stock airbox going into dinan turbo inlets from what I read it's the best bang for your buck air intake system you can do , I blacked out the little silver bolt as well as painted over the AFE logo not advertising for them

I have everything but the scoops, wondered if that made a difference?

I am curious about the scoops as well. The ram air concept can work at high speeds but I am not sure these do anything on a turbo motor that is already sucking air in from outside the engine bay. There is another company making scoops also that look like they are longer.

I know this is an old thread but I have a question regarding the air scoops and pop on brace covers.

Did you have to modify the brace covers to get the air scoops to clip on the brace or did it just snap on over the covers easily?

I just ordered the same scoops and white pop on covers. Just trying to get an idea if the covers need trimming.
