they do get hot, we have small radiators. Anyone know the size of paper cone filter that fits right onto the maf? I want to get a cheap cone filter to put on my sri so i can still drive the msp while i am cleaning and drying my foam air filter. BTW would a dirty air filter lead to less than optimal performance? (slow building boost, and just not running as good?) I havent cleaned it since september or maybe earlier like last summer.
What have you done to your MSP today?

2.75" yes, but I dare say not noticably so.
how about a dirty maf?

sure.. what's the issue? what's your car doing?
A maf could but also a maf coated in filter oil could as well. Btw most cleanable cone filters should need to be cleaned for at least 25k miles unless they are in a super dirty section of the car. Also oddly enough having dirt stuck in them makes them filter the air better.

you'd have a CEL if the MAF was the problem.

i'd start with plugs and wires if they haven't been done in the last year... even if they're not the problem, it won't hurt.
+1 Tune ups never hurt.

tranny change today
was gettin ready to change tranny fluid today. Car has 42k and I just bought it back in mid feb. Don't know if it's been changed before or not? I think I'm going to go with RP MTF syncromex. Hope I'm not starting any wars by askin this Question, but any info would help. I've read several treads on the subject and keep coming back to the RP. Thanks

Redline MT90 seems to be a fav around here. I actually just changed mine with mobil 1 75w90 and my 2nd gear is now a little touchy/notchy. I'm not happy about it. Thus, I may be redoing the trans fluid soon because of that. Damn waste of $25 
Anyone else use mobil 1 gear oil?

+1 on the wastegate & Vac lines.... I changed out the wastegate and replaced vac lines and the difference was night & day. MUCH quicker to spool. Also check seals at hot & cold pipes...

Seems like alot of Msp'rs use redline. But I read in a tread that it was for racing and needed to be changed often. Then the penz/lucus mix,GM syncro, but I've heard pros and cons to all the above. But only good things bout RP
