You MUST get it tuned....thats why its running like ***.
Anything more than a drop in filter requires you get the engine tuned.

The K & N Typhoon really sucks

The reason is a flap in the metal tube which goes between the air intake and turbo

You can either remove that flap - OR get a Buschru intake for 1./3 the price

Either way - it will need to be tuned

PS - I have tunes that work fine with the metal flap in place if you want one

what is a bushru intake ??

 

I agree with what Al said, the K&N typhoon has gotten the reputation for sucking even with a tune. There are numerous other vendors besides Buschur's intake, but i myself run Buschur's.

The K&N Typhoon is the absolute worst possible induction kit that you can have on your Evo. There are hundreds of posts and countless threads on this forum with respect to this fact. It will, as you yourself have experienced, make your car run horrible, lousy and worse.

I haven't tried the Buschur Racing intake personally, but that is the one I would buy if I were in the market for a new intake. It uses a washable and reoilable cone filter and bolts directly to your MAF w/o the need of an adapter. It retains the factory convoluted rubber MAF hose which is essential for smooth idling and good low speed drivability. Also, most importantly, it is dyno proven to add a few horsepower, and it is relatively inexpensive as well.

 

does that intake make the same cool sound as the k&n does

 

Yes, it makes the same sound. If I told you it didnt you would probably keep the Typhoon even though it is detrimental to the engine just to hear the intake. Sell your car.

 

yes, the cone filter makes that "cool sound"........whippsssssst

 

If you're running the stock turbo stick with the stock intake and a cone filter. there is really no significant gain.

 

forreal man, why are you worried about sound when your engine in your 30 thousand dollar car is at risk???

 

^Because he watches too much F&F.

Get a drop in. Sell that piece of crap.

 

i dont care about the sound
i didn't buy the typhoon for the sound

but when the filter was on he made a cool sound


today i ripped it of and put the stock filter back on

i will keep it this way im considering a drop in filter
but NEVER AGAIN K&N
