:?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: ??????????????????????

 

[lemonscu]

Now Im really confused.

 

[abdukted1456]

yes, you need an airfilter.

there are a few to choose from. :lol:

 

[lemonscu]

Did I mention my parents thought I was going to be retarded when I was born. :lol: I didnt realize I didnt throw the link up.

[abdukted1456]

that does not look quite like what I got...no it will not fit if it is for t5....

besides, that thing looks SPENT. :shock: I might be selling mine... going back to airbox, still deciding... let me know if you might be interested. I would be asking a "bit more" than 15 bucks, since it is brand new, used only about 1000 miles... :lol:

Why going back to airbox?

 

[mike saunders]

Why going back to airbox?

The cranky old Swedes at Saabnet maintain that the stock airbox supplies cooler air than the open filter intakes.

 

[iwantaviggen]

i also heard that stock boxes help keep the torque...
dont know how...
just heard...

 

[turbokick]

T7 is retarded

 

[iwantaviggen]

he has a T5

or were you referring to me? :evil: :evil:

 

[abdukted1456]

I have a T7, and retarded is driving a minivan yet always having something wiseass to say.

 

[abdukted1456]

Why going back to airbox?

I am worried about how it will perform in the summer. I am not yet sold on it being an "upgrade" for T7. I have been getting very low boost since installing it, although it sounds really cool. :? could also have to do with the weather....
or time for new plugs....

but anyways my tuner advised me against the cone filter if I follow through with my plan for stage 3... it is safer to make the 270 Hp on (just for example) 16 psi and colder air than to make the same power on 20 psi and hot air. that is how I understand it anyways... because higher temp means higher boost and more chance to do damage. I know other tuners feel differently about the open air filter thing, but then again they also have a more aggressive tuning philosophy, maybe their focus is on the HP numbers and not reliability? I do not know for sure, I am still trying to figure out the whole T7 thing as I get all sorts of contradicting info from various sources.... :?

I'll put my stock airbox back on soon as I can convince myself to live without the sound ... and find that darned rubber bushing for the MAF sensor! :evil:

When I do I'll get you some temperature data.
Once the engine-bay heat-soaks the problem seems to be something more sinister as if you shut off the engine the temps rise considerably. Presumably this is because the supply of cooler-air has been cut-off. But we'll see how this works out. :?

[lemonscu]

Do it, Do it. I would love to see some data proving which is better.

 

[abdukted1456]

yes. i can't beleive I am going to say this, but please inundate us with data. :lol:

I have heard good arguments for both set-ups but so far no pie charts or line graphs. :lol:

 

[Vigge]

I should have some airmass data from a viggen and a 9-5 aero soon with ff-filter compared to std paper. I will also look into the response affect of these filters.

who does that??? :lol: :lol:
anyway my minivan is 4wd and twin turbo now

i wish

 

[xaamottomaax]

Hey minivans are hot! Check out the one I just bought.

jeez i wish mine could do that. 0-60 2.8sec :shock: :shock: :shock: :twisted: i'll bet that doesnt use T7 :lol: kidding
