Adam Here since the start... Legacy Donating Member 10,282 Member For: 23y 4m 26d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 10/07/09 11:17 AM Posted 10/07/09 11:17 AM It can not throw the AFR out.There's quite a few different pod CAI kits for the engine bay which are shielded from the engine heat.

Some say no.At the end of the day it will be your decision to run one, or not, based on the opinion of a tuner that you talk to.Have a seach in the BOV section and you may be able to make up your own mind.
