MAF

Ok so im trying to clean my MAF and i got the T15 Torx bit, but in my bolts there are little pin looking things in the center of it, is there a special tool needed to remove this? or do i smash the bit down until it spins lol

You need Security Torx bits, not the regular.

it will.. if you have a MAF adapter piece,.. or if you get an apexi or popcharger or a filter that already has the venturi piece on it that adapts to the maf...hope that helps..

yeah that would work, thanks man, im actually thinking about this now, im going to use a piece like that , but im going to make my own intake out of some intake piping and try running dual pipes one down the fender or each side of the car, each with its own filter of course, just trying to think up a way to run them considering the amount of room in the engine compartment

hmm.. dont think that sounds like the best idea, i think u might actually lose hp.. but eh good luck... you can try to run a split like less then a foot from the TB then run one down where the injen would sit and run one down into the fender where a Place racing would sit,.. but i wouldnt reccommend it.. g/l though post back if u actually do it
