ok guys, ive searched and searched to figure this out but to no avail, so here it go's. i bought a ebay intake and installed it on my 99 gs-t. it was fine at first like like city driving. then i got on the freeway and it violently cut out at about 3-4k, i reinstalled the stock intake and took a good look at the ebay intake, i noticed that it lacked a dump tube"it had a spot for the for the dump tube but no tubing inside the inkake" i went to the hardware store bought some pvc pipe and jbwelded it into the intake according to a VFAQ , then reinstalled it and checked all vac lines, MAF sensor all that stuff plus everything else, but now it's not near as fast and the BOV is really quiet also it still stalls every once in a while .... any help would be appreciated
 
not threating, ive had both thoes cars and they were fun wrx is slow srt was a blast eclipse may be fun soon, anways vac is 25 at idle thats not normal i know. so i need to get a boost leak test ! thats what i will do, and if thats not it im stumped
 
Idk if i have an afpr because i just bought the car and im new to dsms so... But i had ngk 6es and they were running lean so i went 1 colder...ill check them and see how they look. Oh and by the way my fuel smells very raw. And when i was in 5th gear today on the highway my car was putting like i was getting no boost at all. Its just running really crappy. thanks for any help.Sry im a noob.
