Fondupot’s Garage Installs A Turbomax CAI Intake

If you thought Cold Air Inductions intake systems were only for V8s, you need to check out this video! In it, Fondupot’s Garage installs a CAI cold air intake on a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado with a 2.7-liter Turbo engine. 

Like all of our cold air intake systems, the kit for the 2.7-liter TurboMax motor is easy to install with a few hand tools. Let’s follow along as they get started!

Why Upgrade To A CAI Intake?

Simply put, our cold air intake systems are an easy and inexpensive way to avoid heat soak and get more from your motor.

“This air box is all metal, nicely made, super solid, and feels really great.“

– David, Fondupot’s Garage

In just about 30 minutes, you can install one of our kits and immediately get the following benefits: 

• Improved Performance: The CAI intake system is designed to increase horsepower and torque by optimizing airflow and providing more cold air to the engine.
• Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: Better airflow improves fuel economy, saving you money at the pump.
• Superior Filtration: CAI’s premium reusable filters ensure that only the cleanest air reaches your engine, reducing the risk of contaminants causing damage.

Easy, Step-By-Step Installation Process

As David of Fondupot’s Garage points out, the CAI intake system is extremely well-made and nicely finished. He comments on how the inside of the filter box and intake tube is finished with the same quality as the outside of the kit. Additionally, he points out how well everything fits together.  

The video walks through each stage of the installation, making it easy to follow along. Here’s a quick overview:

1. Preparation: Gather all the necessary tools and components, including your new CAI intake. Lay everything out and review the instructions provided by Cold Air Inductions.
2. Removing the Factory Intake: The first step is to disconnect the battery and carefully remove the stock intake system and sensors. This involves unclamping and detaching the existing airbox and tubing.
3. Installing the New CAI Intake: Once the factory components are out, the new intake system is fitted in place. The video provides some helpful tips on securing the tubing, attaching the air filter, and ensuring everything is tightly sealed.
4. Final Checks: After installation, check all connections, reattach the battery, and start the engine to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Real-World Performance Benefits

After installing the CAI intake, Fondupot’s Garage takes his Chevy Silverado TurboMax for a test drive. Right away, he notices that the engine sounds a little louder and has a better throttle response. He says it’s too early to tell if his truck gets better gas mileage, but it’s fairly typical to see modest gains in fuel economy and improved performance. 

Through our rigorous testing, we’ve seen real-world performance gains of 10-12 extra horsepower, more torque, and about 2-3 miles per gallon improvement in fuel economy with no other engine modifications.
