Is it worth upgrading to this on a chipped k03 setup with FMIC? Is it bigger than the stock intake hose? How is fitment? Anyone see any gains?

I'm debating between this and the ATP intake hard pipe, which actually costs considerably more than the Samco hose I'm looking at.

it's not a huge hp gain or anything.. it just lets you hold boost longer. Purems sells it. I boost 2-3p.s.i more with it though (peak)... is it worth the money... imho... no

i got it about 2 weeks ago, and u can really feel the car spool up faster, but the most noticable thing is how well the car holds boost, fitment was great, took almost an hour (kept dropping stuff in engine bay) and also the car becomes a lot smoother driveability wise, i guess its cuz power is delivered easier, not sure, but ya a lot smoother, and the hose itself is a LOT bigger/wider
..if u really want a hard pipe like the one ATP sells, im sure u can get a custom one made at an exhaust shop or something
btw wat rims do you have on your car?? the 5 spoke ones in your picposter
