First and foremost, I want to apologize for this taking way longer to sort out and organize than I originally thought.
I don't want to clutter up this thread with unnecessary detail, so I'll likely be copying and pasting the most important data from the previous 2 threads about this, along with further clarifying other details.
With help from EMgrock1, I was able to get my hands on a intake CAD file for 3L turbo P3's. I 3D printed the part to test fit and test drive and everything fit well and turbo/induction noise was massively improved. With 100% verified fitment on 3L S60's and about 98% sure this would also work on other 3L turbo variation cars (P3 V60, XC60), I decided to take the file to a fabricator I know to ask if he could replicate it using aluminum. He said he could, and I believe all other details are finally worked out.
Material: Pipe itself will be 304SS. MAF flange will be a billet piece machined down then welded to the pipe. MAF flange will be tapped for M3 machined bolts and I will be including the 2 required bolts and washers to mount your MAF to the intake.
Coating: He gave me an option on this, but I told him that a polished aluminum finish is my preferred finish, in order to match the other side of my Snabb intake, along with match any other aftermarket kits that people might have on their car.
Power: Probably no additional power. Intake may heatsoak in hot, slow traffic but will definitely return to ambient once you start moving. With turbo cars, an extra 10-20 degrees pre-turbo should not drastically affect anything as the turbo heats up the air way more than this intake would, and your intercooler is supposed to be dissipating that heat regardless. Of course, the intercooler can heatsoak too, but at that point, that would probably be true on a stock car/intake setup as well in those conditions.
Sound: The main objective of this intake, and the 3D printed version definitely performed well in this department. Metal one may be even louder slightly.
Price: Add a generic $10 shipping charge to all prices below, as I'm not really sure on the best way to deal with shipping otherwise. I would like to keep this in the lower 48 states if possible.
1PC : $160 / Ea
5PC: $135 / Ea
10PC: $125 / Ea
Please see my other 2 post if you want more details or to see pictures of the 3D printed concept on the actual vehicle. Unless things work out differently or I have to pay the whole amount up front, I won't be asking anyone for the money until I have their item in my hands. I'd like to give my guy a final number by this weekend, so if you are interested, post down below and we'll be in touch.
