So i had the car about 5 days before i started digging into it(new record for me). I'm not exactly sure of what my plan is for the car right now since my girl dd's it but we'll just get started slowly and see where we go(spoken like a true in denial addict). So my girl was in florida for the last 4 days so i figure i'd dig into while she was gone and not tell her i did anything to see if she notices
First we'll do the easy thing, rip the stupid airbox silencer out. I could immediately hear the turbo spool sound more clearly after doing this. At first i left the ram air piece out and i thought that once i put it back on the turbo noise would quiet down but i was surprised that it still stay about the same. Also i noticed the previos owner had a perrin foam filter in there...it was full of oil so the next thing i did was go grab some MAF cleaner and cleaned off all the oil from the filter off the the MAF sensor....the maf cleaner can says i can game 15hp from cleaning my maf, my butt dynos says i gained about this on the legacy lol.
