I was thinking about buying the "Jim Wolf Technology
Pop Charger" from CUstom Maxima
Are there any better Pop chargers around?
I was thinking about buying the Cold Air Intake from CM(Custom Maxima) too, but then this guy told me that I wouldn't be able to replace the sensor...
I don't know what to do.. and YES that sensor is a Airflow sensor thing ah mu jigga.

Maybe pop charger with CAI sounds nice... That's wut Vyrus told me...

From what I've read a CAI would be much better. With a plain ol' pop charger I don't think it matters what brand. I have a Stillen. JWT would be just as good. They're all sucking in the hot air from the engine compartment anyway.

They do not suck in hot air

I was thinking about last night and after driving home, I decided to see for myself. I think you should all do this test. After driving home from about 6 miles of street signals, I lifted my hood right after pulling into my garage. I felt the air filter (mine has a chrome ring around the top) and it was really cold. I continued to feel around the airbox, fusebox, as well as the strut bar...they were all cold.

My conclusion: As long as your car is in motion (2MPH), outside air will draw into the engine through the grill and air scoop. Even at a stop, the intake should be pulling in decent air. When you shut off your car and let it sit for 10 minutes or so; the engine bay, along with the strut bar and air filter, will get very hot. I encourage you to try it yourself.

Another test you could do is run a hair dryer through the air scoop and feel the other end. Air flows pretty well through there.

No. I have a Stillen pop charger. I'd think about a CAI if I wasn't going to try to sell it at the end of the summer.
