I think it simply comes down to how a turbo engine works. Our stock tune is not pushing the turbos too hard as is evidenced by the fact that tunes are producing huge gains. That means there isn't much of a "choke" point at the filters at stock boost. I think those with tunes stand to do vastly better with upgraded filters or intakes because they are pulling more CFM through the turbos with higher boost.

That said, I will definitely get them because I am hoping for a bit more turbo noise from the intake side of the motor.
