* Can provide some restriction to airflow to the turbo. This can be a hot topic for debate, though. We generally feel this restriction is minimal at best and for most people should not be a major consideration. Just make sure you replace the stock snorkel between the MAS outlet and turbo inlet with a larger pipe and you shouldn't have anything to be concerned with on this topic. | * Can provide some restriction to airflow to the turbo.
