FnI intake boost vent

[Fosgate]

What's others thought on this? https://www.firenice.us/product/intake-boost-vent
On one hand it seems like a cheap partial solution to the problem for the symptom of bog in deep powder some are experiencing. My understanding however has to do with the rubber elbow pipe running to the turbo collapses when it cant breath. Regardless if you choose to reinforce the pipe with that pricy metal ring insert or buy a $20 reinforced size down pipe via ebay etc. That along with an intake filter to me seems like a better solution rather than sucking warm air in out of the engine compartment. Am I wrong in thinking this or could it still be of some benefit?

If i had a boost i probably would do all the above. i think that the engine compartment air stays relatively cool as long as you are moving due to air more or less being rammed through the hood vents. its only when you stop the air would get warm.

If you have the intake vet the boot wont collapse. For now I'm running the vent.

Slp has these power valves that open when needed

The intake tube is only collapsing because the turbo is not getting adequate airflow. If you think underhood air is hot, you should see what happens to charge temperatures when the turbo doesn't have enough air.
The FNI vent is verified to not increase charge temperatures and get rid of the bog.

SLP Powervalves and cover them with frogskins. works amazing

+3 on the SLP Powervalves (+their powder cover), I installed one on the steering column side of the intake (only flat hard plastic spot, didn't install on the felt backside). Fixes intake boot collapsing and bog and doesn't suck in warm under hood air

Have about 4 good rides now on the Fire N Ice vent, zero intake bogs. Runs extremely good with no RPM drop anywhere.
