Hey， I‘ve Got The Same Intake With Upper And Lower Ic Pipes。 Can U Answer A Few Questions For Me。 Is It Possible To Lose Power With An Intake If U Dont Get A Tune（i Plan On Getting One Very Soon）。 After I Installed The Injen Parts， The Car Actually Felt Slower， Especially Between The Rpm’s In Which The Turbo Initially Spools Up：3000-4000rpm。the Turbo Sounds Mean， But There Just Isnt As Much Power As Before。 I Couldn‘t Really Feel Any Power Until Near Redline。 Is It Normal To Lose Power Like This With An Intake， Or Should I Check For Loose Hoses。

（YES I KNOW MY TEXT IS WEIRD， THERE’S SOME DAMN SOFTWARE ON MY DAD‘S COMPUTER THATS TOTALLY SCREWING ME UP， AND I CANT CLOSE/UNINSTALL IT。）

 

Dawg!! You have to fix that ****. It gives me a headache looking at it. Do not cap lock and please use proper grammar (periods and comma's atleast).

I like mine

 

ok i switched computers. But anyways, can anyone answer my question.

 

you need to be TUNED for the intake

 

you wont notice anything until after a tune, for the time being you will hear the turbo spooling and what not. i like mine and i know it was an arm and a leg but i feel it was worth it

 

ok so i understand, that there wont be a noticeable increase in power without a tune, but is it normal for it to lose power? My turbo doesnt feel like it is doing as much work as before.

 

I think it's normal, the RPMs seem to drop faster with the intake.

I just had my Injen kit removed in favor of the stock airbox and that's what I noticed.

 

i just installed mine last week. the turbo sounds mean and the stock blow off valve is a lot louder. im gonna flash my ecu once i install my greddy ti-c cat back, down pipe, perrin high flow cat, and invidia o2 housing.

 

Did you throw any codes/service engine lights?

 

slightly off topic question, but where do you get the gold foil and how is it applied?

 

If anyone reading this thread is interested in a slightly used injen intake UICP setup like this that is already plumbed for alky PM Me.

 

Looks good. I have the piping, but I used my HKS intake with it.

 

no codes at all, if your installing remember to disconnect the battery.
