The stock S58 intake is functional at factory power levels, but becomes a genuine restriction as soon as boost pressure climbs. The OEM plastic airboxes rely solely on bottom-mounted air feeds, and the factory turbo inlets measure just 61mm and 72mm at their connection points, a real bottleneck for any tuned application. Elevated intake air temperatures force the ECU to pull timing and reduce power, or in extreme cases trigger limp mode during track use.
do88's answer starts with large 7.8-inch sealed carbon fibre airboxes, but rather than relying on the stock bottom-fed air supply alone, do88 engineered supplementary fresh air openings behind each headlight, adding significant cold air volume to the system while keeping it fully sealed. Pre-oiled, washable 105mm cotton gauze filters capture contaminants while maintaining high-volume airflow, and are reusable for the life of the system. Large carbon fibre tubes taper from 105mm to 82.5mm, paired with custom 83mm cast aluminium turbo inlets, far exceeding the OEM's 61mm and 72mm restrictions. An innovative sealing and adaptor sleeve design means these inlets fit both OE and popular hybrid turbos, including the Pure S58 STG2+ and TTE940. The airbox geometry also provides full clearance for the CSL strut brace, making this system compatible across the whole G8X range without compromise.
Works with: OE turbos or hybrid turbos (Pure S58 STG2+, TTE940, and similar) via included adaptor sleeves. Full clearance maintained for the CSL strut brace.
