Turner CSL style airbox, pros and cons?

I have a V2 version, shipped in August 2020 installed in June of 2021, no issues so far (knock on wood), at the time it was worth it (to me) given the price delta compared to the other boxes on the market. Smog wise...that's an offline conversation these days.

It's made in china. But its shape/design does seem to produce a tick more power on the dynos I've seen. I just couldn't trust it. The karbonius' fit and finish is so impressive - you feel like you really got something worth $2xxx

I don't trust it, entirely because of the ECS connection.

The GB has me thinking too. I don't NEED one but it would be cool to have one. I wonder about the air temperature it's pulling in, is there a snorkel they sell that fits to maintain factory-like ducting?

The initial offering version didn't have enough epoxy when the intakes were built on the bottom side and would crack. I believe that has been corrected, but I could be wrong. I would give Turner aka ECS a call and confirm.

Hey guys, there’s a group buy currently being offered on some Facebook groups by Turner on their CSL style air boxes. I know there are a million threads about various boxes, sorry for the redundant question, but I couldn’t easily find what the group thinks of this air box specifically, quality wise and durability wise. Is the Turner air box good? Or a pass? Anyone have issues reported of these falling apart or any of that nonsense?

Also. They won’t / can’t ship to California. So that adds a layer of annoyance.

I’m also wondering if I can get some opinions from CA folks who have a CSL style inbox, do you find it to be worth the hassle to deal with smog, in whatever way you choose to deal with it? The group buy cost is $1586.99 and includes their installation kit (obviously tuning is a whole other thing)
