so finally got my intake after 2 weeks of waiting i thought it would be longer. big props to JCSpeed for getting it me sooner. i was afraid itll be a month out but when i was going to email them to today about it guess what showed up?! love it! First of all the packaging sticks! i mean it smells bad! why? fresh rubber? i thought i really did $hitted on myself! but overall nice packaging got it install in about 2 hrs. the 2 neeples that came with the tubing, you only need one. i plug up the other one. you can probably skip 2 or 3 of the intructions to make things easier. and whats up with that stupid thing that goes around the tubing? its like weather stripping. it does not stay on! as hard as i try it just slip off when i go in and put in the filter. so took it out for a spin and wow i can definitely tell the difference from the butt-dyno. turbo spools up faster, smoother power curve. now here's the question am i suppose to see 24-25psi? the damn needle just shoots up. before the install i would hardly see 24psi, it would just flutter like crazy. it did get rid of my flutter problem though. my only other mod is a Works p2. no problem with cel, sputter, etc. another good thing, feeling the top of intake, its actually cooler after a run, before i would get nothing but hot air and possible heat soak=bad. will post pic tomorrow, gota go find a ban-aid now

 

the reason there are two holes in the intake tube for the wastegate solenoid (and they left this out of the directions) is, you're supposed to follow that single tube that connects to the intake down 6 inches to the 2:1 adapter and disconnect it there. then connect your new tubes from the AEM kit directly into both wastegate solenoid tubes (doesn't matter which matches to which)

 

yeah i dont think your supposed to plug one up. read one of my older posts about me having installing problems but figured it out.

 

well i figure that the hose have to be the same as the one from the oem intake to the new intake. on the stock intake there's only 2 tubing and 1 it goes to the boost selenoid and the other one crank case. ive been driving around and everything seems fine. ill double check everything again. thanks for the heads up.

 

so which hose do i connect to the intake? and whats the difference between what i did and what they want you to do? basically instead of running the tube straight into the intake, per the intructions, ikept the T set-up.

 

flutter problem with a works tune?? do you have any other exhaust mods that might make you spike higher with the intake? you know that exhaust work on turbo cars will make you boost higher right...

 

no other mods, just Works re-flash and intake. ive posted this problem before, with the flutter happening..no solution. now it just flutter at partial throttle.

anyone wish to help me with the hose problem?

 

i got the intake u can definitely tell that there is power gains with it. it hards trying to catch the rpms before it redlines. it pulls so much harder too and got rid of my hiccup problems too i wonder if it was because of the old intake

 

so did you plug up one of the nipple or ran 2 holes to the solenoids from the intake? like this...

 

*bump* anyone?..with an AEM intake

 

That drawing of yours woulda helped make it WAY more easy, when I installed mine!

 

Massappeal, so hey is that the way it should be? i still have the old set-up

There is also another thread on the "how to's" section in which I posted with the link as well. Be sure to read STI2EvoX's post as he explains how it should be done. Thread also contains a link to the aem installation manual in color. I also had a hard time understanding how it was supposed to be installed, but once you get it it will all make sense hope that helps. Also enjoying the intake

 

man this is bonk! im just going to keep my original set-up, leave the T and plug up one nipple. i dont understand why you need to individually run 2 hose from the AEM intake to the solenoids, when the stock intake has it T's off.

 

do what the picture says. look at my thread on socalevo-evo x how to
Im sure aem has a reason for the way its supposed to be.
