there's a point, i havent cleaned my pod in a long time might give that a go! hopefully you've got it sorted for yourself! how'd you go at wsid?
think my issue would be caused by the crack in my exhaust manifold.. but i'll definately be cleaning my pod now!!
wierd plugs plugs on the scoop?? you shouldn't need to remove the scoop.. just take the top of the box off, undo the 4 nuts, then unto the hose clamp from the other side of the afm.. and it should come out... thats from memory, took my airbox out a couple of years ago!!!
