I was running the stock UICP and a AMS LICP, my car was having very high intake temps, and knocked, because my pipe was rubbing on the radiator inlet and side..
So i picked up a ETS UICP and my car has 0 knock, spools faster, and pulles harder.. any one running just the LICP get the UICP. The stock one is Bottleneck and is too close to the radiator..

 

No problems here. Are you running the stock air box?

 

Apexi intake

 

well good thing u upgraded then! lol

 

get an intake tube like the hks or the aem to go with your apexi intake. Thats what i did. and it pulls and sounds better. seems alot easier to breathe.

 

Placebo effect. You cant back that statement up with numbers.


SuPeRNeT, what was the difference in intake temps and how were you measuring them?

 

stock uptop and ams lower no prolems...ams installed...look elsewhere for your problem imo

 

running Nisei Engineering 1018 Lower Intercooler Pipe with no probems. good thing for steel too, must have bottom it out multiply times and its scratched to $#%, an aluminum one would have been destroyed by now.

 

I would check your tune (fuel requirements).

 

15-20 deg, evoscan same day... With my old pipe id pull over and feel it and almost burn my hand, now its slightly warm..

 

i need to get an UICP

 

Get a mini battery too .. Loses weight and gains space, lots of space.

 

EvoScan measures the temperature in the MAF, which is before the UICP, and therefor the UCIP has no bearing what so ever on the temp reading in EvoScan.

 

I did also clean my maf while the pipe was out too..

 

Get some dryer hose and a heat shield, then report back
