ok i installed that hks air intake now when i get on it it feels like my engine is going but not transfering the power to the wheels?? i have no clue why it is doing this it's a filter with a bracket connecting the mass air flow sensor it's on there right could some one help me out here
-thanks-

ok i'm pretty sure the intake is hooked up correctly my BOV isn't recircualted it's just open so why is my car not functioning properly and no my clutch isn't slipping if i should recirculate it then please explain how i should go about it b/c the stock part where it should be is cut out and sealed up.
-thanks-
 
I'd just buy a aftermarket intake pipe WITH the recirculation tube. Or buy another stock intake pipe. That's probably the best thing to do. You can also do a blow through setup but it would cost you around $300 in parts (waste of money if you ask me).
 
Even if your blowoff valce is uncirculated, I don't think it would run a whole lot worse. Ofcourse, it's not gonna perform like it should, but it still wouldn't feel like it's not transfering power.

Check and see if everything's hooked up tight and you don't ahve a major boost leak somewhere. And make sure you hooked everything back up (i.e. mass airflow sensor, ect.)
 
Since your bov is after your mass air flow the ecu has it preset to count for the air reciculating into the intake. If it is not recirculated your car will stumble because you will go rich in between shifts cause the ecu has it set that there is air coming into the intake. If it is unciculated then the ecu is accounting for air that is not there and your mixtures get messed up and your car will stumble. Now also make sure your intake pipe is clamp to the turbo tightly because if it isnt and the turbo is sucking in air that isnt being read by the maf and your car will go nowhere!!!! Good Luck
