Snorkel/RAI for Range Rover Sport Supercharged

[meroka]

I have been looking for a snorkel or raised air intake for my 2005 RRS Supercharged for a couple years but most places list them not compatible with SC models, ant the rest im not sure about. Mine only has one airbox on the RH side, and i think it only sucks from the RH side went?
Is there a problem with flow or why are they not compatible?
Have anyone tried the ebay "cheapo" modells? They list it as compatible with SC.
Thank you.

Unless they moved/redesigned the intake system it should be fine. The only thing I can think of them saying it won't work is RE: the supercharger needing more air but that in theory would solve itself because of the forced induction. The NA engines need a larger opening but the supercharger and turbocharger on engines should provide enough air if the opening is of an okay length (not 20' long...), otherwise there would be suction issues.

RE: the cheapo models look up the testing safari snorkel had done on the chicom stuff that ripped off their designs, the materials/molding is not as robust, and the plastic is less UV stable. I would just go with OEM LR/mantec or the like, avoid the headache of having to replace it after a few years.
