Intake Install

[Smartiepants]

I'm assuming it should be pretty straight forward? Anything to look out for, the neuspeed intake should be here Thursday, if all goes well then I should have it in for Friday.

ahh man did u buy a neuspeed pflo? umm a stock airbox with a K&N is alot better.. the nospeed sucks hot air in.. get a real CAI like mine and your car will rock and use the stock airbox in the winter..

[Smartiepants]

Meh, I got it cheap enough that I could resell at no loss so I'm justy gonna test it out, worse comes to worse I can move up.

oh thats cool then.. the first time you rip apart the stock airbox and battery is a pain in the ass man.. so friggin annoying.. if i could do it again it would take me like 10 minutes instead of 40

Second time around always takes way less time for any mod... thats why I try to get someone whos done it before to help

I just bought a CAI and I just have a few questions about using it in the winter, will I have to take it off and use the stock in the winter because it will stall or will it be ok?

yes take it off in the winter. I'm putting my stock box back on come november..

[Smartiepants]

I got the neuspeed one in, was easy enough, the hardest part was me dropping my 11mm socket into the engine and having to get that back.

Also should I be tossing the stock box back on for service?

[Smartiepants]

Hahah, now to look for the next mod.

[R_Ethug]

nah intake is fine.. just take it off come winter

smartiepants, because the neuspeed p-flo is so easily installed/uninstalled (basically 3 bolts and a clamp).. i would recommend putting on your stock airbox when y ou go to the dealership. they can and will void some warranty when they see it. ie.. if your MAF fails (which they often do) then its the intakes fault and they wont replace it under warranty.

yea if my maf fails on me and they won't honor it i'll pay for a new one.. i hope they arent' pricey though

i ran my CAI in the winter with no probs at all, in fact, the turbo loved the super cold air and it ran amazing

$350 last time i checked for a new maf, unless you have an AWD or 2.0. they can use the 2.0 MAF which is under $100
