have you tryed reseting the ecu after you ripped em out?? It might help but i'm not sure..

[GTST4G]

Just sent you a follow up PM, let me know when you receive it.

RedlineGTR: yeah tried that, but it made no difference.. It stumbles a bit at idle.. Will fit the front gauze back in (before sensor) to try and make the air flow more uniform through the sensor.. Thanks any way..

GTST4G: Have PM'd you back.. Greatly appreciated..

Taking the gauze out shouldnt make any difference to your cars peformance other than getting that tiny bit extra out of it due to there being less of a restriction. Id try cleaning them first with carby cleaner. Take them out, give them a real good soaking spray once or twice or even 3 times! it's amazing how much oil and crap still comes off them after a 3rd spray. You can see this discoloured cleaner dripping out. Dont let the cleaner liquid sit in the point where the a/f element mount joins the outer casing. It should be sealed anyway but just incase.) then reset your ecu again.

The gauze is there for catching foreign material entering the meter. It's that thin that it wouldn't have any flow straightening properties at all. I would have thought it would create a (uniform) turbulence instead of straightening the flow.

It wouldn't really matter taking them out and loosing the protection properties of gauze because one would think that if you could afford to take your car to a point where you would start blowing turbos, then one would be able to afford a new airflow meter aswell as a new turbo setup and anything else that was damaged in the process

RichyR32GTR: tried all that, have spoken to a few reputable people/workshops about this.. Tried resetting Computer, no go...... Got told to try fitting the gauze in after the filter to see if it MAY fix my problem, as it is possible that different filter designs alter the way air flows into the A/F meter (mine is the APEXi Power Intake filter) As it never did this prior to removing the gauze out of the A/F meter.. I did notice a fair increase in boos though.. Will keep you posted to how it goes....
