you maybe running ok but without a tune (and a fuel pump) your missing out on a lot of power. go ahead and get a tune, you'll like it.

Yea, that intake is robbing a little bit of power without a tune and remember to get a fuel pump.

So how about in my situation?
I got a flash that was wrote for intake and 3" TBE. I drove for about 3 weeks with JUST the flash, then I got the exhaust and then a week later I got the intake.....battery was disconnected for the intake install.

FWIW my rear bumper is still getting residue on it.

Did disconnecting the battery mess anything up?

Oh and the exhaust has had some black residue ever since the reflash.

Confused yet?

Intake throws MAF off and needs retuned specifically for that. You have a PM by the way Evil.
