Hey guys thought I would share.
I had been driving around with my K&N filter bolted onto the MAF for about six months and could never work out the bad fuel economy and why the boost cut was coming in around 9psi.
I just jammed a 28cm long drain pipe (9cm diameter wide) and now the filter sits where the battery used too as mine is in the boot.
I straight away disconnected the battery for about 5min or so to reboot the ecu and then wow.
Straight away the car felt more responsive and my boost jumped a little bit to about 10-11psi and no more boost cut.
The straight pipe before the MAF really does make a huge improvement.
Thanks to all of the feedback from several of the guys and I will check out my fuel consumption and post the figures in a few days.
I will however probably not post the figures from the first fuel tank as I have now cranked the boost up to about 12-13psi and driving around on full boost a bit too much.Dont forget that in Cutiestan its only a $1.5 fine on most case's as like the one I paid today for running a red light.
Installing the stereo upgrade in the next day or to aswell so I will post some info on that too and will do pictures of all my mods in the comming week.
