Eric, thank you for the information. The breather hose from the valve cover to the turbo intake pipe is still intact, I did not get the breather filter.

Unfortunately, I do not have a datalogger or ECUFlash cable yet, and being rather inexperienced with these things, I am not sure I have the confidence I need to start messing with these things myself just yet...

ChadB - I would think any intake system that uses a cone filter is just aboaut the same. There isn't anything particular about the Buschur Intake that would set it apart from others as far as this problem is concerned.

 

I've had my buschur intake (piping and cone filter), for several months now. I was tuned for it as well, and I've never had any problems or had the ECU throw any codes.

there a many evo's on here with just the buschur cone filter and stock piping and have absolutly no problems... there must have been some type of install error or leak around the MAF to have caused this.

I would try using the cone filter again and see if it happens again, or go with the buschur piping as well.

 

Buy a tactrix cable and a copy of EvoScan and log it. Post logs in ecuflash forum and we'll help ya on your way

 

Something must not be hooked up right. I installed the whole intake kit from Buschur and never once has it thrown me a code or acted funny in any way. Just do a check all the lines to be sure... I had mines on my car since it had 44 miles, no issue's yet!

 

I had a Buschur intake kit (with MAF pipe) and hated it. My MAF is already too sensitive as it is (stalls on hills and crap), so I took the intake out and put the stock back on. I agree that tuning for the intake is a must, but I doubt you'll see much gain with an intake anyway..

 

+1

there is no oil on the filter.

I never had a problem with any Buschur part. Those of you that do, I dunno. Maybe you shouldnt work on cars???

 

 

If a part fails, it doesn't mean that it's the part makers fault. A part is like anything else made by humans.. it can fail.

 

vwjeff,

Was that comment really necessary to help this guy out? We all know you are the #1 Buschur fan, but stop being an *** to everyone and sticking up for Buschur every time you can. I mean I understand having appreciation or admiration for someone, but I think your kneepads have to be worn out by now, no? It seems like every day I see you in a thread polishing his knob. If you aren't getting paid to do this, you have to be gay.

FWIW, I have seen issues with Buschur parts. Since we are on intakes, how about having no provision for a breather hose on a turbo intake pipe on a MAF-based car?!? Oh no, is the world going to end? Just keep the Buschur bandwagon comments to yourself please or go open a new thread in the general forum about how much you love him.

 

Yikes...

 

Dude!

 

Owch.... I'm going to quote a bad movie on this one.
"Do you need some aloe for that burn?"

 

Well douch bag, seems how you are the expert know it all, why dont you give him some of your expert advice on why in the fu*k his car is throwing a lean fault with this air filter.

There are MANY people that run this filter and do not have problems EVER.

I ran this filter w/o a tune... sh*t I ran the entire Buschur stage 5 w/o a tune for a month and NEVER threw a CEL.

After Dynoflash tuned the car the first time, I never had a CEL.

Once I had my 35r on the car I tuned it, and once again NEVER had a problem.

So I am thinking that would eliminate Dynoflashes tune out, as being a problem.

The only problem that could possibly cause this would have to be... The person or persons that installed the filter onto the intake pipe did NOT install it properly. OR there is a leak somewere after the MAF causing a lean mixture that o2 is picking up, but seems how putting the stock air box back into the car fixed it, the install of the filter HAS to be wrong.

Now I see you wrote... "Since we are on intakes, how about having no provision for a breather hose on a turbo intake pipe on a MAF-based car"

And why do we need that. You wanna put oil vapors into your intake that will only accumalate and over time put a light coating oil in you intercooler? The K&N breather filter works perfect, it worked great on my MAF car.

After reading your stupid post I think it is time you pulled your head out of your ***.

PS... ask your momma if I am gay, she pays good when she calls me for a good time

To the OP, make sure your MAF is sealed GOOD around the intake pipe and also be sure the MAF is sealed properly against the filter. You dont want a leak around that area, it could cause turbulance or a bad reading at the MAF as air is being pulled threw the meter.

PM me if you have any questions

 

ive heard not so many good things about dynoflash lately.

I honestly can not see how you can do a custom flash for a car with many mods.
Every car responds differently with mods. I could run lean with the mods and you could run rich ect.. I believe the best way is to get it dyno tuned for the best possible timing/afr/boost ect..

 

Damn Jeff....

Adding on what you said "The K&N breather filter works perfect, it worked great on my MAF car." Mines as well ....
