COBB sri - ecu reflash?

That's the stupidest arguement I've ever heard. The reason we say leak is that it is expected that the ltfts will be high since the car can inhale so much more air. Since 91% of people are running intakes without tunes and without issues you obviously ****** something up during the install. A lean condition that severe is indicative of an air leak. Since you put the stock airbox on and are still seeing high trims chances are you ****** up that install as well. Recheck everything you did and stop blaming a product that is obviously good because you screwed up

/rant

OK MR engineer, provide some data on what normal trims should be for each of the four tiers?

If you cant then stop talking and pretending to know how the car works
 
Ok dumbass maybe do some research before coming out like a tough guy

1. I am a Mechanical Engineer but we'll ignore that.
2. there are 5 tiers in the MAF tables not 4
3. There are no such thing as "normal" trims, every car is different mine are +2 across the entire rpm band


If you would like a detailed explination of how the MAF system meters air and how leaks affect readings ill gladly explain, but since you dont have an AP or ATR, and dont know anything about the car the info will be useless to you. Stop thinking that just because you dont understand something, everyone else must be as clueless as you. and stop posting the same issue on different threads.

I put my COBB TIP and SRI on this weekend and no CEL. Man is this thing loud! This may sound stupid but is the turbo hissssing sound normal? My wife was like WTF is that!

thats not the turbo, its the air being forced thru the filter at high velocity, completely normal

Look bro, you are the one that bashed my honest opinion on the cobb sri. If you look at my other post, pics were sent back to cobb and I got a confirmation that my sri was defective in fact. Also the air system leading to the turbo does not expand at the joints due to pressure therefore the likelihood of extra air being inhaled is close to zero. Also, making a statement that you are a mechanical engineer means s*** on this board, for all I know you could be working on sump pumps for a living.

First off, note I said "we'll ignore that", since everyone on here thinks theyre a guru, and it will just start a pissing match.

Ok. lets step back and look at your statements

Everything from the MAF to the turbo is under vaccuum, so if there is a leak air will be sucked in at that point. it could be from any number of places, the MAF 0-ring, valvecover vent, TIP connection, or you rattled the TIP loose during installation. so therefore, the chances are in fact very very high, most users, myself included were hunting down air leaks after installs. that is why there are so many p2187 code threads....

since you openly admitted you are not car savvy on MSF why dont you stop acting like you know what your talking about and posting stupid arguements that hold no merit. The fact that you dont know what your doing also increases the chances that you ****** something up during the install. Also making broad generalizations that all intakes are crap just further illustrates my point.

If you want help, ask, but dont go bitching when people tell you something you dont want to hear
 
It sounds a little odd at first, then you get used to it and love it!

I am starting to like it. The car really really hooks up now. So much smoother on acceleration. Money well spent. Well not according to the wife but what does she know.

Ok bro, explain to me how is everything in front of the turbo under vacum when you have this huge hole with a free flow filter at the end?

So by that theory the exhaust produces no pressure due to the large opening at the end?
 
Think vacuum cleaner. Has an open hole in the end, motor is the turbo except it squirts it into the air instead of into an engine.
 
think of you, you have that big hole in your face called a mouth, you can breathe in creating a vacuum
 
Hah wow that statement was priceless... Anyway I did a trade my ms cai for cobb tip and Sri I should be installing tonight
