Before spending money on one of these watch this video:
After watching this and some more research I decided to not bother with this mod.

Any gains of the bolt-on mod category are based off of the butt dyno. These intakes generally make more sound (and maybe like, +2 HP), thus makes your car more fun to drive and "feel" faster. Your butt gets more planted in the seat due to "increased" g-forces, meaning that you have "increased" HP.
Any real HP gains would require a engine tune, fuel remap, larger turbo/supercharger, or NOS. Or just go buy a faster car.

The 8AR-FTS in the RC200t and IS200t have +6HP than in the NX (total 241HP). The Super GT RCF also uses a 2.0L turbo 4cyl engine that produces 550PS, but yes, thats a racing engine. Definitely capable little engine!
That said.. looks like Vivid Racing has a tuning chip worth investigating.. https://www.vividracing.com/catalog/...151449216.html

It sounds good you can hear the turbo spool and when you let off the throttle it makes a blow off sound that is pretty loud. If I don't want to hear it I turn the radio up. When I first installed I didn't notice any horsepower gains but realized the added power is at higher RPMs. So when I started pushing it harder I do notice a little extra pull.

Sure the “sneeze” sounds cool.. But the fluttering sound we hear after letting off the throttle is obviously the sound of air moving. Since there is not a BOV installed to relieve the pressure, the charged air must be getting forced back into the compressor (turbo) right? Or is there a diverter valve that reroutes the air into the intake? What are functions the 2 tubes leading into the intake?
