New intake?

I just installed my Berk intake. How long does it take for the ECU to recalculate the added air flow and make it's adjustments?

Are you sure the ECU has to make adjustments? I thought the ECU only had to make adjustments for the UDP........

I'm guessing you aren't noticing the gains you were expecting???

I truthfully didn't expect a huge difference with just an intake. I was just wondering how long it takes for the computer to analyze and process the rush of more air accross the MAF. I had a K&N dropin filter to begin with. I did notice that the rpm's seem to climb more quickly and smooth. I'm betting that I'll notice more of an impact with a Y-pipe. Isn't the air coming in the original intake colder than the where the Berk is located? Does anyone have a Y-Pipe that fits correctly?

I took out the front part of the factory intake as well. The piece right by the front grille. Should I have?

It's optional. I ran an ooglie CAI throught the stock air inlet which points in the direction of my intake.

Also, I'd recommend the Frankencar midpipe to go with your Berk. For $50, I think you will get the performance gain you were looking for.

I have to admit I love that growl. It kinda sounds like a BMW 330's growl. What's the pros/cons of the CAI over the HAI? I don't understand how the Frankencar Midpipe can make a difference in performance. Can anyone explain?

It sucks more air. It rules. Trust me.
