Performance Air Intake For Mitsubishi 3000GT (1991-1999) with 3.0L V6 Turbocharged Engine Red

Optimizing Volumetric Efficiency for the 6G72 Twin-Turbo V6

Who It’s For: Engineered for Mitsubishi 3000GT owners running the legendary 6G72 3.0L V6 turbocharged powerplant who are tired of the stock sluggishness and restrictive factory plumbing.

The Symptom: The factory intake on the 6G72 is designed for 1990s noise compliance, not peak performance. It uses a restrictive, heavy plastic resonator box and accordion-style rubber tubing that creates massive internal turbulence. For a vehicle as heavy as the 3000GT, this lack of airflow leads to slower turbo spool times and a noticeable hesitation when you step on the gas to merge or pass. You are essentially asking your twin-turbo setup to breathe through a straw.

The Engineering Fix: This system replaces that restrictive factory air box with a mandrel-bent T-304 aluminum tube and a high-velocity cone filter. By providing a straight, smooth-bore path for the air to travel, we significantly reduce skin friction and air turbulence. This allows the turbochargers to reach target boost pressures faster and increases the oxygen density entering the combustion chamber. The result is a sharper throttle snap, reduced turbo lag, and a mechanical induction growl that lets everyone know those turbos are working.

Why Mechanics Choose This Kit

• Measurable Power Gains: This kit is designed to provide a 7-10% increase in horsepower and a 6-8% jump in torque by removing the bottlenecks in the 6G72’s intake tract.
• Turbo Acoustics: By removing the factory baffles, you will finally hear the turbos spooling and the bypass valve cycling, providing a much more engaging driving experience.
• Lifetime Filtration: The included high-flow cotton media filter is washable and reusable, meaning you won’t be buying paper filters ever again while enjoying superior airflow.
