Just installed air intake on 1.5L!

You're saying the intake contributed nothing to that change in numbers, as measured on the same dyno, with reasonably close ambient temp and humidity? c'mon guys.

This argument just won't die. A well designed intake that lowers intake temps and increases flow makes some power; maybe not a lot -- but some.

And mods add to each other's increases -- I believe ilikerice has agreed to this in other threads. (but maybe it's my wishful thinking)

Exactly! Even if it is slightly more free flowing + colder air it is going to increase performance over stock. Even if it is only a few hp, in our tiny engines a few hp goes a long way.

And although the afe is not a legit CAI it does still help with responsiveness and midrange power.
