once again no problems here and no regret of buying it, sounds cool, looks great , and performs well. on another note, you must be a little more open minded than to trust what one tuner says when it comes to modifying cars as there will always be something different when cahnging from the stock parts.

Every tuner has their own opinion, and every programmer has their own style and knowledge base and that seems to reflect in what products their programming works well with. I've had my typhoon in for over 9k. Initially I had some issues which turned out to be a small leak due to initial settling, and once retightened, no issues, no stalls at idle (which did happen initially), improved gas mileage +5mpg as I record all my mileage, and it sounds good, and I think looks great with the CF and polished pipe. Just my opinion.

the tyhpoon makes your car too rich! i switched my to the hks rs intake and that fixed all my "boost problems"

But keep in mind that was w/ out any tuning! Im sure w/ the right tuner the tyhpoon intake can match up to any intake out there!

I can say that even before my car was flashed, the Typhoon never caused my car to stall...period. When I put the filter on, it made my car run lean. Flashed it. Power came in.
