    Afm pipe

    Well I wanted to get my filter behind the opening on my morrettes so ordered some 3" alloy pipe and plumbed it in




    Now took it to the drag strip today, went easy on the way there no boost really but on the track it didn't perform well at all, boost was all over the place and just wasn't constant causing loss of power.
    Obviously I'm gonna put the original pipe back on and see how it is but should this upgrade caused the problem, too much air flow and the afm doesn't like it?

    I think it could be more to do with the length or diameter of the alloy pipe? I'm sure someone on here had stalling issues and it turned out to be the alloy pipe.

    Argh right cheers guys, was gutted it wasn't performing right. But I have seen people like superman do this, is it because I'm on seb2 and would need remapping if I wanted to keep the pipe?

    A map may sort it, I guess its because of the larger pipe it takes the air ratio outside of the MAF perimeters? I have no idea....wasn't Superman using Megasquirt or something though?

    I'm sure it's the length of the pipe.

    Id just cut it down and fit an air feed from the morrette.

    What I will do is put the original back on and I should be able to get the filter out the morrettes with that 45 elbow.

    It could be the new set up changing the way the air is going through the AFM and upsetting it a bit. That happened on the Evo when I changed the intake without changing the map. And the Bosch AFM design is 10 years older so might not like the change.

    Argh right that might be a good call Todd, so the problem might not be the new pipe but the elbow I've used for the filter.
