Problems and solutions

[pyrotechnictigger]

This one is a goody and might catch out the unwary driller!

I did the airbox drilling mod and was quite impressed with the result, mainly better high speed pick up. After about a week, the car started to just slow down. Running and idleing was still smooth, just a noticable lack of power. I took out the old air filter for closer inspection and found the problem. A mound of old leaves/bits of tissue and general engine gunk. The holes had sucked up all the local rubish. After over 200K there was a fair bit! I cleaned off the big cack from the filter and treated myself to a new KN panel filter. Fitted it this morning and I now have quite a bit more PFFFHHHWWWWOOOORRRRR than before!

Moral of the story? Check whats under your airbox before you drill it and K+N make good gear

Is there somesort of payoff for mentioning ITG all the time?, I only ask as everytime somebody mentions another brand of airfilter we get that thrown in as well.

He's just evening the field and giving people choices

I have both - I plan to do proper tests shortly - the K&N is less messy... the ITG filter I have is covered in green gunk...
