Is there really any performance gain in these vs any other brand snorkel out there? I know the front end is bigger but isnt the bottleneck still the same?
I wouldn't really look at snorkels so much as a potential power adding gain. Mods like these basically make it a little easier and a little quicker to get to the ECUs torque target. Since our cars are load based they will generally always make the roughly same amount of power. This is why everyone says get a tune first because unless you can change the torque targets you're not going to get nearly as much out of other mods. A snorkel will make a small difference in pre-turbo charge temps and a smaller difference in post-turbo charge temps. It won't necessarily add power so much as it will make producing the same amount of power easier and more consistently.
It should also help with charge temps when your idling or moving slowly since its sticking further out towards the front of the car.
These really aren't about making more power but keeping the air cool that's coming into the intake system. My IATs were much lower than my friends without one. Also he was running the stock air box with a aftermarket tube we're I'm running a snorkle with cp-e intake.
Probably not in the very near future as we just finished one. Maybe in a month or two? If enough people show interest in a GB. Need couple dozen participants.
