Injen CAI

I know this has been discussed many a-time before, but I have installed both the Intake and Upper IC pipe and my car definitely drives different now...it takes longer for my RPMs to increase so then it takes longer for my RPMs to reach spool for my turbo...thus I think my car is now slower for it...I don't seem to boost that well in 5th gear now. AH also, I don't notice my car lifting on the front end when I shift like a bad *** and try to really fly....any suggestions?? well...besides a tune because I basically know my car needs tuned

try getting tune. I also have injen UICP but with stock intake and it drives fine. Try taking out intake or get tune.

everytime you go to shift say "huh, how do you like that now b#($!"

recheck all the clamps...sounds like you have a boost leak, slow accel and doesnt build boost like before...

haha...yeah well I think you're right about all the clamps...I was thinking a possible leak too...thought it was a little more complicated than just a tune...however, I did think it could have been from all that extra air from the new intake

I believe this is caused by your intake as some intakes cause a vortex in the piping from the MAF and Turbo spinning. I'm sure your car will run fine as long as you tune the car to level out the proper air being flowed.
