Okay so lets say im turning left on a long wide curve at 60 mph, nothing beautifully smoothe... But if im going the opposite way whitch is right on a long curve at 60 mph i get a bad shaking/vibration up through my steering wheel and my passenger can even feel it? Could it be a wheel berring or what?

Does it click/pop at low speed? Could be CV joint.

it does when i turn backing out of my garage... Thats what my grandpa was also thinking!

I have another question that never got answered, If i put a cone filter on where would my recirc hose go???

Thanks, Alec.

Hey Alec,

You can definitely put a cone filter on the intake, thats what I have done, and I really like the results. The other hose you see is the Secondary Air Intake (SAI) line that is used for the pump that is part of the breather system for the block, basically part of the emissions system. You can buy a simple 1" breather filter (small cone) and attach it to the hose and then (what I did) zip-tie the hose to a nearby point so that it doesn't hang or flop around the engine bay. Check out this walk-through I did a while back for the set-up I used. Hope this helps!

You have to get a DRY-FLOW filter, one without an oiled element. The oil on the filter will foul the MAF sensor and you're looking at repairs. Fortunately, this is a very easily accessible repair and not very technically difficult to replace. For my experience with this I posted before about intake systems:

Here is something you can do that will give you similar or greater power gains as a Neuspeed or VTDA, TTDA system....

Go with a AEM DryFlow Filter:

Couple with a BPI Flowstack, which will up flow into your TIP/MAF:

You will likely need a 3" silicon filter to couple the New intake setup (above) to the MAF:

With any system you'll also need a 1" breather filter to cover the intake for the SAI sensor line (you can get this at Schuck's/Advance too):

In my opinion, this is essentially the same as the Neuspeed/VTDA but with the added benefit of the Flowstack.



Also, one thing with chipping is that the turbo now draws air significant more air that can collapse the stock Turbo Inlet Pipe (TIP), which is made of rubber, under hard acceleration... which starves your turbo of flow:

To remedy this I installed an APR silicone TIP, which is a good step-by-step DIY install:

This is something I've been REALLY researching this, and decided to go with the above.... let me know if you have any questions. Other than HP (I'm seeing ~12whp gains) the sounds is AMAZING!

Best of Luck!!!

Thanks for this info. I chipped my 225 a month ago and was planning on doing this next!

Neuspeed has a nice little set up.....
