Question:

Can you have a cold air intake with a turbo kit at the same time?

Can you have a cold air intake with a turbo kit on your car at the same time?

Answer:

Sure you can. It is actually recommended that you do to optimize performance. All a cold air intake does is relocate the air filter to a remote location in your car bay - somewhere away from the hot engine block. When you can get fresh cold air, your intake charge will be more dense and can potentially make more power by raising the compression of the combustion. Combined with a turbocharger, you will increase the efficiency of the compressor by quite a bit.
Sure. Won't do anything. Cold air intakes compress air, slightly. Turbos ignore the current compression, regardless of what it is, and compress it to a set amount. So, no matter what intake you have, the air flow will be the same, with a turbo. If your current intake is a restriction (which most are NOT), then there might be a slight, marginal gain. But that's only because the turbo can work more efficiently. The intake itself, is not creating any extra power. Ignore the guy who mentioned intercoolers.he apparently doesn't understand how a turbo system is piped.
Absolutely. Turbos work better with a cold air intake system. The cooler the incoming charge the better. That's why some turbo applications use an air-to-air inter-cooler too.
I would have it vulcanized at a shop ,then start looking for a new tire after getting a new tire change them out and keep the old one as a spare
Some punctures in motorcycle tires may be repaired, however you should only try to permanent plug-patch repairs of small (maximum 1/4-inch diameter) tread area punctures from within the dismounted tire by a qualified tire repair shop or motorcycle dealer. Temporary repair should not be attempted because secondary damage caused by a penetrating object may not be detected and tire or tube deflation may occur at a later date. Liquid sealants are a form of temporary repair, and they may adversely affect ply material and mask secondary damage caused by a penetrating object. Reliance upon sealants can result in sudden tire failure and accident.
