aFe Momentum GT Cold Air Intake - Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (T1) - 2.7L Turbo
The aFe Momentum GT Cold Air Intake replaces the factory air box on the T1 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with the 2.7L turbo four-cylinder. A 229mm (9in) tall, 360-degree radial flow filter with a 140mm (5-1/2in) flange, inverted top and expanded-metal guard sits in a sealed housing, and a two-piece roto-moulded XLPE tube carries the air to the turbo.

Installing the aFe Momentum GT intake on the Silverado 1500 2.7L turbo
The one-piece sealed housing is moulded from heat-resistant XLPE and has a large clear window for checking the filter. It uses the factory air inlet with no extra hardware and adds an optional auxiliary inlet for more air, and once fitted the filter comes out by removing only the intake tube. aFe's dyno testing shows up to +19 kW (+25 hp) and +41 Nm with Pro 5R, and up to +13 kW (+18 hp) and +31 Nm with Pro DRY S.
Options: Pro DRY S uses dry, oil-free three-layer synthetic media that washes clean with no oiling, suited to street and light off-road use; it flows 10% more than stock (275 CFM). Pro 5R uses pre-oiled five-layer cotton gauze media for the most airflow, washable and reusable; it flows 12% more than stock.
Note: Suits the T1 Silverado 1500 with the 2.7L turbo four-cylinder. Most Silverado 1500s delivered new in Australia (GMSV) have the 6.2L V8; this engine is mainly found in imported trucks. Installation by a professional is recommended.
