I just wanted to see if there is quantitative results. I was looking at the BPS. I have a vmp 67 mm, 2.4, o/r x. I want to ask the forum about adding that and that only that. Any dyno numbers? Is the mod a night and day difference? I presently have no desire to buy a larger tb. Thanks.
Elbow results?

I don't think it's a night and day difference, but you'll most likely see an extra 5-10 hp. which isn't bad for the cost and you'll be removing a restriction point from the intake.

Thanks. The forum votes no on the aftermarket elbows.
I put my elbow on at the same time I put on my intake and vmp throttle body. I'm sure it def helped with some extra hp but I'm sure it'll really shine once I add a pulley.
The bps and aftermarket elbows still benefit from porting. You don't get the full potential of the elbow without porting and smoothing out the rough casting.
What?
It's completelt wrong to think they don't help as ANY restriction in front of the blower will increase its efficiency, no debate there.
If your running an aftermarket TB, the elbow just makes good sense and even better if BPS ports it for free like they were.
I'm very happy with my BPS elbow

Have a bps for sale if youre interested. Nothing wrong with the elbow but having a lip at the junction between the blower and elbow bothered me enough to go back to stock. pm me
I adjusted mine so it's perfectly matched up without any issues.
Try adjusting it but still have a lip at the bottom unfortunantly.
That sucks...sorry to hear it didn't work out for ya.
NJ Tony, sent you a message.
Tony, You just have to smooth out the elbow so it flows better and there is no lip on it.
If you need help with it let me know.
Not looking to grind the blower down to eliminate the lip. I want to be able to put the car back to 100% stock eventually before I sell it. Im not even sure if the lip has a negative effect on the flow but the hp difference is not large enough for me to bother with it at this point.
My only complaint if u wanna call it one is that with the elbow and bigger throttle body my intake is pushed forward more and is to tight for any adjustments. I noticed at the coupler for the throttle and intake, the intake is pushing up in the coupler. I was thinking of cutting the end of the intake by a half inch to adjust for the bigger throttle body but I'm not sure if it would mess with any maf readings.
Thanks for all the responses. Does anyone have any dyno results?
I'm not much for dressing up the engine compartment, but that shiny SC makes me drool a bit lol
Thanks for all the responses. Does anyone have any dyno results?
With just elbow alone? You might get 5-10hp but I'd doubt that alone, however, combined with a larger CAI and TB it's part of the package.
It's is definitely a worthwhile mod, who has a stock TB and CAI anyway?
