Dude, seriously, two things you must do..now
1) The search feature works good, you'll have to do some sifting through alot of posts though..
2) Please, please learn to spell correctly, or you will get a thrashing.

Oh by the way, get rid of that intake or get atune for it. Otherwise it'll just cause problems and power losses....

I totally agree with some of you said. This thread started needs to learn the language. I am not speaking English fluently, but at least I can spell and let everyone in here understands what I am talking about.
Tune = ECU tune/flash/SAFC (from Apexi)
If you have read along with us in this forum, you should learn a lot by just coming here everyday. I did not understand how most of the things work in Evo or maybe I should say a turbo car until I come here regularly (about 4-5 times a day).
You may not have the luxury as I do working at home and can surf in here that much, but at least read up or learn how to use the search feature in here.

You either need to get a custom tune for the intake, or put the stocker back in.

First off, your car should not experiance porblems from an intake UNLESS you fu<ked up some of the honey combs on the MAF, second these guys are right, there are no power increases for an intake unless tuned. The reason we have and airbox is for the ECU to read air flow at a more consistent rate thus making it eaiser for the car to make adjustments based on the eviroment. By removing the airebox you just added more air flow through the MAF BUT you also are adding more air through a MAF that is designed for a airbox so the readings(Hz) are going to higher and very inconsistent thus making it very difficult for the ECU to make proper adjustments for more power.
I have an intake a long with other mods on my car that i tune with a Utec and i must say that b/c of the MAF i hate intakes, they make it a ***** for tuning.

I am sure this whole idea of needint to tune the ECU to run an intake originated from the people making money from the ECU modifications but it is totall BS. Sure he might be able to smooth out the curve by adding fuel or dicking with the hertz readings at idle but for love of god people think about it.
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR = measures any change in air going in to yoru motor after the air flow meter.
That is all. Intake can not cause the car to run poorly unless it causes turbulence at the inducer or you take the recirc tube off and turn it to VTA. Or it is a downright ****ty intake ala K&N Typhoon or whatever it is called.
