Do it, just dont drive fast through big puddles. That. I just posted a couple of weeks ago when I drove through a big puddle and sucked up a load of water through the air filter. Nearly crapped my pants, but the water luckily never made it into the engine. It did take me a few hours to strip everything down(including FMIC) to drain all the water.

Generally I don't advise using a SIP these days as the gains are not significant. I have tuned cars before and after, and there is no difference. That said, if you do use one (and there are other reasons to), then make sure the MAF is positioned as far from the turbo as possible preferably after a 45/90 degree bend.

Have you tested the SIP on a 400 HP car and seen no benefits?

I have used it for a year now, and not a problem at all. Turbo...reducer hose....SIP...Coupler hose....MAF...90* bend hose...Apexi air filter cone
That is my configuration

I've had mine fitted for several years, it's one of barbz's originals with RamAir filter, no bends anywhere so fitler right down on the floor, and not even a hint of any idling problem, but on mine the air flows in the opposite direction to yours Kenge RamAir filter - short hose - MAF (upside down) - short hose - SIP - reducer hose - GT28R turbo Just go for it (a lot cheaper nowadays!)

Hi. When I had my SIP installed I RR before and after and although I had slightly faster spool up (very slightly) my inlet temps went up. Just another factor to think about.
Cheers
