    After wrapping up the design of our intake for the 2015, it was time to put the car on the rollers to see if we were making any power gains. As mentioned earlier in this series, we believed that significant power gains were unlikely due to the MAP-based ECU, which is not normally affected by modified intake systems.

    With that in mind, we strapped the Mustang down and made a few pulls.

    Last time we covered the design of our intake pipe and left you with a look at our airbox design in the form of a rendering. It's time to show you how we developed this component.

    First, we started with some steel and began selecting mounting points for attaching our box. Once we found these points, we pulled out the welder and began fabricating a prototype.

    With the stock unit out of the way we could begin developing our intake piping. We would be starting at the turbocharger and working outward to an airbox near the stock location.

    Using the dimensions from the stock unit, we developed a 3D model of an inlet hose that would be constructed from a silicone material. After completing the model, we produced a unit using our 3D printer.

    An intake is a great way to dip your feet into the aftermarket modification pool. Easy to install, instant results, and a neat sound are key draws for upgrading this particular component. Depending upon the form of engine management and airflow sensor use, slight power gains are often a result of upgrading to a less restrictive system.

    The new EcoBoost Mustang is slightly different than other intake projects we have tackled, which have been mainly Subaru MAF-style intake systems. As you know, the EB is a MAP-based system, so intake upgrades normally make less of an impact on power but still provide that same intake noise/growl you expect. Additionally, upgrading the intake for greater flow will provide less restrictions
