Yea check that everything is nice and tight. It could be that part of the intake tube is not completly sealed and there could be too much air going in the engine. Yea.. belive or not too much air can be bad.

Mmmmmm good point hadn't thought about it that way.

I'm just talking out of experience with my past car (although it was a 95 Golf w/ a 2."slow" engine).

I went to Jiffy lube and for some reason they disconected the intake tube from the air box. On my way home the car started to stall and act funny I reconnected everthing and it was fine. I though it was because the engine was getting too much air so the car was running too lean (too much air + too little gas = not good enough combustion).

But now that I think about it, it could also have been too much air turbulance in the MAF sensor. The computer gets all sorts of crazy air readings from the sensor and tries to adjust for the amount of gas sprayed. Readings are crazy computer gets crazy = f*kd up ride.

Forced induction from Turbos and SC force air in the closed and controlled system within the enigne. That's what my logic tells me. I'm I right? I dunno.

Any of the pros out there care to comment???

DYK? Another function of the air filter is to reduce the air turbalance of air going in the engine.

bk! There's a post around here that is about that whistling thing. Some ppl like but I guess the intake shouldn't be doing that sound. Sorry I coldn't find the thread but if you do a search you'll find it. It's recent one so it shold be easy to find. I just got lazy.
