2.75 Inch

thats what i was think i just wanted to make sure, thanks man.

 

[jsahyoun]

No problem I just got done doing this myself, and I wanted to keep my intake as a CAI. You will like it!

 

[vxfilmer1000]

Well i put the CAI back on and reset my ecu and still hesitates like crazy. I will floor it , it will spool, get loud, then just barly move til about 5000 or 5500rpm then it will finally get all its power and go.......

So does it hesitate more than before you relocated?

Well before i was on 10psi it hesitated like it does now but before i relocated and while i was on 10psi it didnt hesitate...

Wow, I'm stumped.
Are you double checking for boost leaks, etc.? Maybe try switching to t-bolt clamps instead of worm clamps.
This is weird, I think you're the only case I've heard of where hesitation persisted after MAF relocation.

Is it maybe beacause my bov and maf are pretty close together, cause i remember reading somewhere that they need to be atleast 3 inchs apart, even tho i dont know why that would make it run more hesitate.

In your pics, it looks to me like they're more than 3 inches apart.

I'm not all that educated about relocation, but doesn't everyone usually run the bov AFTER the MAF??
If that isn't an issue, I can guarentee you that your worm clamps you are using on your coldpipe vs t-bolt clamps are an issue. check to see if they loosen up after a couple of days of driving. Mine did and my car drove like crap on a stick. I replaced everything after the turbo with t-bolt clamps to hold the psi and I'm running stock boost.

Nope.
In the stock setup, the problem is that the BPV is located after the MAF and before the throttle body. The MAF measures a certain amount of air entering the intake. The engine thinks it's going to get that air, but it gets recirculated instead of making it past the throttle body and into the intake manifold. This causes slight hesitation and not-so-great gas mileage because the car is running unnecessarily rich (extra fuel is injected for air that didn't make it to the combustion chamber). When the MAF is relocated to after the BPV/BOV, the engine reads only air that is getting to the throttle body, not measuring air that is vented between shifts. Thus, a more accurate air/fuel ratio is maintained resulting in better fuel mileage and less/no hesitation or stumbling.

If those are home depot rubber couplers, get rid of them. They suck bigtime.

I had a few on the car when we did my intercooler piping, they tore, blew off. Complete nightmare.

You haven't had any problems with this happening?

For great deals on silicone couplers, silicone reducers, and T-bolt clamps, check out www.siliconeintakes.com

They've got the best prices I've been able to find on the net, and great customer service.

Well thanks for the correction. I want to do that now too, since the msp hesitates like a mofo when you let off the throttle pretty often. Sucks. I can drive my friend's gti and let off the throttle at almost any speed or rpm and there is no hesitation whatsoever and thats on 20+ psi. You'd think that at 6psi the msp could handle itself!

So you guys think these would work alot better and "possibly" solve my problem http://www.siliconeintakes.com/product/000055.htm

AND some t-bolt clamps

Alright thanks guys...... I get these then give an update. If anyone else has an solutions that might fix the hesitation let me know.

 

[smo0f]

post update asap!

If you are 100% sure that your pipes are exactly 2.0" outer diameter, then yes - along with t-bolt clamps as someone already mentioned.

Please confirm your hardpipe outer diameter before you purchase. I thought my hardpipes were 2.0" also, but then I measured just before I ordered and the OD was 2.25" (RTM)
