uh, yeah, lets spend 2500 on a AEM when we can fix the CLOSED LOOP problem by getting rid of the air filter that isn't really helping anyway.

hey, if you need a k&n drop in filter, im selling mine, has 2k miles on it, will sell it for $40 bucks.

Hey, guess I was stupid enough to by the AEM short ram intake. What problems is it supposed to cause? Is any aftermarket intake worth buying?

by aem, i assumed namahs was referring to an aem stand-alone ECU, not an intake

boost...

Spoke with Andrew and verified that wiring was okay. Everything is wired up correctly so that's not the problem. The XEDE light also stays green while car is running as well as while I'm driving.

What amount of boost should I be peaking at with the XEDE mapped for my mods? It seems like others with same mods are running higher than my 21psi peak. Any thoughts?

I have had AEM on other cars with great results but what is different about the AEM EVO intake that makes it exempt from the stall issues that affect other intake system?

the AEM needs constant attention and tinkering...weather change = tune change.

and have you tried putting your stock air box in to fix your problem? because i guarentee you it will and not lose any power in the process.

The AEM does not use the MAF sensor?
