If this is true that AEM changed the elbow that they were supplying with intakes because they found out it causes compressor surge...then they should be offering up a new reinforced elbow free of charge to the people who got the BOGUS oringinal one.

From what I hear, they will be, but not yet. They are planning on offering customers a swap for a revised model, featuring both the reinforced elbow and venturi they are developing.

Any news on this guys? My next performance mod is the CAI but I want to be sure whatever I get works well nows and (maybe) after an aftermarket tune.

Stick with Hahn (and dump that GMS1 for Trifecta tune)

Ok... great write-up.... great discussion with some helpful info - but... question:
I have the modded snorkel, k&n drop in, and AEM elbow. Do you think simply switching to a OEM filter will help? I don't have logs to know how much skew there is. It seems to run fine until it's super humid or raining. It just gets kind of boggy. As in... gas is down but the rpms just sit there and the exhaust has a low growl..No power.
It doesn't act all strange otherwise or during cold start. I know the AEM will be the first to get blamed but I personally VERY highly doubt that's it or it wouldn't discriminate on the weather.
From what I've gathered here the filter might be the biggest problem. I don't care about a few ponies if it will drive smooth.

just bought a dejon SRI.. and have a tune with vince through trifecta... previously had stock box with k&n intake modified... would you rec. me getting retuned for just the intake.. or say its not going to be much of a difference between that and the airbox mod w/ k&n... respond asap.. please!!
#217
surge is caused by airflow reversal, when u shift gears and ur throttle body closes the air goes back into the turbo blades. bov or bpv opens to let off the air if there is something wrong with the bov or bpv u will get surge. so its not an intake issue, its a bov not opening properly issue.

Compressor surging?
Hm, odd that your compressor surges at start-up. My AEM intake just causes my turbo to spool up easier. When I start it up on a cold start I hear the turbo spool up and it stays spooled til I whip the gas, almost like a choke. One quick rev of the engine and its fine. But I do have the misfire everyone has been talking about from the relocated MAF sensor messing up the fuel trims at idle, especially with the A/C on. Worst problem I've had has been the rain. If it rains a hell of a lot where you live, like 2-3 inches of rain on the roads, don't get a true CAI. You'll miss like crazy for a while because of the water coming through the bumper and fender.

Can you post up a picture of the intake I am not sure why it would have 3 hose connections on it. It should have a BOV recirc line and a PCV line.
