Realized in the last few days, I need a complete new turbo back exhaust (not including the downpipe) It keeps causing my 2 bolt flange that connects the DP to the exhaust to leak...I can turn left and it seals, turn right...it leaks....car warms up, it leaks LOL

Beyond that fact, the physics behind the mod are true in theory. Think about it, remove a chamber (that dampens the air movement, thus slowing throttle response (slightly), and opening up the air box so it can have zero restriction (restriction that could slow throttle response (even though this could be negligible)) both will net better velocity though the intake, not harm it. There is a reason the mod is so popular, it works. The only throttle response killer is so called "cai's" that either are too large, or too long.

the best way I can describe it is like when you have the A/C on and you get that lazy response until the compressor kicks back off... which, obviously, would be something to check, except that it does it even with the climate control set to off.sigpic

All I can say is the only way it's coming out is compressed air and hope. If you can get the exhaust valve open, that would be best rather then blowing it into the intake.

Originally posted by Mikey27 View PostI didn't mention it in my post, but it sounds like you have a leak in the intake. Did you use the correct size pipe? Is it larger on one side than the other? Is it thick wall pipe? Are you 100% sure it sealed up good? Did you perhaps miss putting the brake booster line back on if it was removed?

nope, not 100%. one of the things I'm going to check. all hoses are connected properly.
also, I'm wrong in blaming it entirely on the resonator removal- I'm looking into other **** (TPS, throttle cable, etc) because with my luck, it may have just been something that failed at the same time as I did the mod. as you said, pretty much everyone does it, so the odds that the problem are caused solely by doing this mod are kinda slim.
I'm mostly just frustrated, with the exception of the coils/wheels/lights every single thing I've tried to do to this car to make it a little more fun has actually made it worse.sigpic

Stick that m45 on it. Run an fmu and AFPR. Call it a day. That ought to solve any throttle response issues
Seriously. Do the math for pulley sizing, give it like 3-5 psi, add a tiny fun factor, reliability and longevity shouldn't be affected since you never really beat on it.
I know you don't want to work on it, but a few hours to fab it up and slap it on, a few more hours to work out bugs, then leave it alone and monitor AFRs for a while.Current:
