My cold air intake from K&amp;N has a bad turbo burps. Sounds awesome during hard acceleration, then it sounds bad. Anyone else, fix KN says it is ok.

me too I am wondering if the computer should be adjusted since more air might change the mixture?

You might have had a rubber ring fall off and in the way of the the cold intake. Shut your water off and take the part out and see if any rubber rings fell off

Hello there! I'm sorry to say (or is it good?) that we haven't had the Filter in that long to have to Clean it yet? I believe, but am not sure, that K&N; have their own type of Oil to Re-oil? Not for sure though? Sorry I couldn't be more help. Really like the Filter though! Seems to really help in the Midrange of the Power-band. Good luck! :0)

1. Make sure you are getting spark. If not correct problem. (I found a large mud-dabbers nest under my re-coil cover.) 2. If you are getting spark, you might have bad fuel. If your using older fuel with ethanol, it might have water in it. I started to use marine fuel in all my yard equipment, generators, etc. to avoid this problem. It is more expensive, but the results are worth it. I hope this is helpful.

Fwiw, 02 996 Turbo - no issues with orange exhaust dust and no fouling of plugs. I'm also tuned for 1.2 bar on 93.

I only had the K&N; without a throttle body spacer but the car did have a performance ECM tune. So I can only say that the throttle response was great and you can really hear the intake breath with the open cone filter.

Picked one up today and it does the same thing. They should at least mention it in the manual. I wasn't sure if it was normal. Apparently it is. Thanks for bringing this up and thanks for your follow up.

Why did you do so? You choke it only at cold start, and make it WOT when it warms up.My experince is that the engine works fine. The snow discharge shoot is poorly designed. The wing-nut loosens with vibrations after few minutes of operation, thus you lose control of where you want it to go. I am personally working on a patch modification to keep it tight at the angle I want it to be. May reverse-engineer another brand's design when I go to the hardware store. I would have preferred to pay few more $$ and get a better rated machine. Table it to "lessons learned."

You need to go to the K&N; site and enter your car's particulars into their system and select the cold air intake model. write that model number down and match it with the amazon products they are selling (will always be cheaper than k&n; direct buy). if the model number matches, it will fit, if it does not match DO NOT take a chance on it. these intake systems are very very particular to their engine/car model configurations.

Had just the opposite in my 2002 GMC Sierra (running lean) ran great for about two months after replacing.....then intake manifold blew out....are you having to put in anti freeze every so often? this was a common problem with GMC and Chevrolet..traded my truck..too expensive to repair and 11 years of Pennsylvania weather began to take a toll......

Ned, I'm no mechanic, but I can tell you what happened to mine. Same problem, very hard to start and then to keep running. In a nutshell, I was using regular gasoline which in a few short months caused an air leak by eating into the seal on the carberator plate cover. You might want to check and see if you have any leakage on the bottom of the carb plate. I replaced the gasket and started using Alcohol free gasoline (which the literature says to use) and have had no futher problems. Starts easy, runs great, without the constant priming. BTW - I found that Dealers will not cover any gasoline areas under warranty.

Compare intake and linkage to carb hookup.If head and carb are the same and make a good seal you can make the rest up as you go.It seems most links are never the same as the original app.Sometimes I've had to take the two carbs apart to make the choke or throttle body work. improvise and overcome.

Yeah I have mine on my 07 cobalt ls. It sounds really good, but if you take the silencer out it sounds like every other rice burner. But yes, very nice sounding muffler. There's vids on YouTube, before and afters, that's what made me buy it. I got that and a k&n; short ram intake and my Slow 140hp 2.2 4cylinder sounds like a freakin beast. Everyone alwaaaays asks if it's an ss. Oh and it even improved the torque a little bit. Just enough to notice. But I highly recommend you get a k&n; typhoon intake, gives it a great sound at high rpm and gives about 5 more horsepower and quite a bit of torque.

No increase in cab noise but anytime you increase airflow either into or in this case out of the motor it will increase whistle noise. On my 2000 with just this system and no other mods whistle was more noticeable but not extreme. However this system really works best with a good quality intake to feed the turbo and at that point, there is quite a bit of whistle. hope that helped

Mine was hard to start the first time, but is fine now. Still doesn't want to rev up quickly. I know this is a carb adjustment. 1st start after a long non-use period, I have to hold the throttle trigger fully down. It' hard to believe the part about the carb not being under a warranty. lm

There was a performance increase and great sound. I have vance and Hines tru dual head pipes as well, race tuner and it was dynoed, also Arlen ness big sucker air cleaner kit. Beefs up the hp and torque. Best pipes going had on 3 bikes. Good luck
