The Definitive Variable Intake (VIAS) power loss thread
Relevant threads:
Steps to Diagnose Problem
The Story
The Story - Part 2
Conclusion
Dynos:
Comparison of stock properly operating vs. stock vias broken
Comparison of stock/vias operating (Run 15) vs. stock/vias disconnected (Run 16) vs. stock/vias broken (Run 14)
Stock/vias on vs. Stock/vias disconnected - on stock properly working car
Track Slips:
Left three slips are stock after vias repair; Right slip is with vias disconnected
** As you read through the dyno and track results, it appears that at "stock" I've lost a little bit of hp across the band. I believe that is a result of heat soak during recent dyno/track testing and additional miles. I don't believe it is related to the vias problem.
