Back To Factory Air Box And Running Sluggier

[southern_tango]

Got tired of the wiseling sound of the turbo(i'm not young any more...)so on saturday i took the pod filter off the car and put the air box back in place...and i looks to take longer to get to full boost(much longer)pod was apexi and airbox has a apexi panel filter so basically it's the same;before it used to jump in full boost now it takes a while and the car car feels sluggish so don't know what's going on...Any ideas????????????

Can you use the pod inside the airbox?

No ,as i said it's an apexi power intake ,even when it's smaller than K&Ns and other Brands still doesn't fit...

Intake leak near the afm?

Perhaps an ecu reset may help Freddy.

Nope,checked that already (and damaged a hose clamp over tightening,but replaced it) BTW is it comon to have black deposits in the mesh of the AFM?

Yeh, just fine dust particles. Did you clean it?

No,didn't have nothing very soft so didn't want to damage it ,or you saying if cleaned the sensor with CRC9?(what I didn't)

Get some airflow sensor cleaner from autobarn mate.

Still got the factory snorkel on the air box so it's not sucking in hot engine bay air?
