my mechanic yanked out my air filter, housing, etc...(now there's enough room there for a small child) i plan on getting a good intake but in the meantime is that possibly what is responsible for my idle/stall issues? also, i was suprised not to be able to find any feedback on aftermarket intakes.....what do the masses suggest? thanks e

Just slap a good filter on the end of that bitch. K&N and a hose clamp.

Was your filter clogged? Or was your TID (turbo inlet duct) cracked? Those can cause rough a idle. What year is your car? If it is a S4, you'll need an adaptor plate for the AFM to put on a filter. Look on ebay, the plates are on there all the time, and are pretty cheap. IMO you can just buy a cheap cone filter and be done with it. You can find those on ebay too. You should be able to get the plate and filter for around $30.

I've got one of those cheap e-bay things. Do you think it should be coated with something, like using the k&n recharger kit?

i think i got my ebay intake for about 15 shipped. makes the car sound better buy t i prob need to clean it as it has been on there for about a year

what about the sensor thats over there? (there is one, isnt there?) what's that all about?

The air flow meter? It has to say if you are using the stock ecu.

no afm, no starto!
