that'll work just fine, only recommendation is to throw out that shitty filter and buy a K&n cone filter, Piping is Piping...

but do you see on the ebay one its connected to the "big plastic thing"
where as the cosmo one hooks right up to the throttle

yeah i don't remember on the eco's what that box is...I'm almost thinking a resonator to reduce intake noise...someone correct me if i'm wrong

If you don't want the black plastic box, then buy this intake on ebay, then look up "silcone 90* elbow" ;) for whatever size the piping is

im thinking the box is some type of silencer as well.
i see in the ebay one, the throttle vacuum hose? is connected to the "box" and so will i need to buy another type of hose because the stock one is short and idk whered id connect it to if i took the "box out

dude O2 sensor is exhaust...the only sensor in the intake is the IAT sensor

there should be a spot somewhere on the new intake for the hoses to connect to.

just cut holes in the 90, shove the hoses in and silicone the hell out of it

why not just get the cosmo rather than going through all that trouble. plus the cosmo looks like it has a less restricted bend.

not on the ebay one, because its only meant as piping. and its meant to still have the "box" that connects all the hose together

good choice, but still, this would be a waste of money, if that is your goal, save the money.

just curious, do you say waste of money?

because the part would be removed when the turbo goes on, not used anymore.

also u need to save money for the supporting mods. So the engine can hold up when your turbo the car.

Nothing about respect, I have just seen your "type" come and go numerous times. And don't do anything to prove me wrong, do it for yourself. If you build a car to make other people happy that is the wrong reason. Only one reason to build a car, for yourself...

exactly! I didnt S/C my Balt so other people would be impressed by it, I did it for me, so I can have the thrill of looking at my work, hearing my whiney ass car going down the road and put me back in my seat when I get on it, I could care less about what other people think of my car, shes mine and no one elses!
