Did you ever get your problem fixed with your car?

 

YES SIR! back to stock and feels better than ever! when i had the custom CAI in it went up to like 15psi but barely. BUT now with the stock air box back on it peaks at like 16.5 to 17. feels more powerful and im not afraid to beat the **** out of it ne more. lol. Thanks for ur concern and everything. im excited to buy an actual manufactured CAI when they come out tho!!

 

Good to hear man. Hopefully someone comes out with a kickass intake soon. Were are you Turbotech Racing? We need you.

 

Is anyone else noticing a pattern with these "custom made" CAI's on the TC's? EVERY SINGLE ONE HAS PROBLEMS!!!

 

Newbies to modding?

 

I have been running mine for 2 weeks. No problems, runs strong. I didn't use the plastic tubing and I made a mount for mine so it doesn't move around or fall off. Sounds soo good too...

 

LOL yea I knew a kid who tried to make one and i begged him not to put it on but he just had to and like a few weeks later he's like "I have no boost! WTF?!" so he went back to stock and still had an issue. He described it just as above "seems like a vacuum leak" so he took it to the sealership and he effed up the MAF sensor. They put a new one in and it runs like new. Every single "custom" CAI that someone's made for these cars that I know of has come back to bite them...

Give it time. My boy's took about 3 weeks...

 

Yes, the LNF's mass air meter is very sensitive about changes in the design of the intake tube which is why it is takeing companys so long to develop a good intake that doesnt cause the computer to freak out.

 

I know I was just making a point that people who don't know what they're doin shouldn't touch precise sophisticated things. I 2 foot long piece of pipe, a dremal, a drill bit, and an air filter is not all that's required to make a CAI.

 

Chill out man. I was just agreeing with what you Said.

 

sorry I didn't mean to sound all hostile. I got other stuff goin on here and it's frustrating me and if what I tryed came off bad I apologize...

 

Its all good,and dont sweat the small stuff in life it's too short to stay mad all the time.

 

i'm running a setup using spectre parts(a legit MAF sensor mount), etc....

haven't noticed anything different yet... all my seals are tight and no drop off in gas mileage or the ass dynometer

 

I haven't either. I think as long as your installation is quality work, there should be no problems...

 

i have a full 3" from turbo to AEM filter even have the Spectre MAF adapter, it runs great, but knocks a few degrees, ive seen up to 4.5degrees of knock from 3000rpm up. now, i have heard that the LNF's do knock factory, but to me, thats alot, but imma go back to stock and see if it still does it. probably will be fixed with stock intake. ill let yall know. although gas mileage has stayed the same and that turbo spools fast!

 

I will probably go back to stock until I get a tune as well, this boost cut is killing me, now that the ECM has learned the PCM, its very noticeable, sounds awesome but that is about it... if the LNF turbo upgrade is tuned for an intake like the stage II s/c kit was, i'll wait until its released before I go the intake route again...

 

Still zero problems... Sounds great; now I am also running a tune with the CAI...

ZERO PROBLEMS + POWER + SOUND

 

I actually found what was causing the problem and advise anyone with the spectre kit to just use rubber couplings instead of the pipe clamps they send, those things are ****...
