Thread: Do It Yourself Spectre Intake with Pics

It's cold outside so I can't check under my hood right now.

Velcro would probably be a good idea. I used zip ties but it really isn't ideal. None of the holes on the PCM line up with the holes in the body within reach of the PCMs harnesses.

You can get sticky velcro kits just about anywhere. Just make sure you clean everything real well before you apply the velcro.

See the pic above? That's is about the only place you CAN put the PCM, it's on a pretty short harness. It was inside the airbox, so now it's just zip-tied to where the airbox WAS.

Shut the front door, especially if the PVC tube goes farther up into the bent rubber tubing...then there is nothing to be "restrictive".

Go mod your car, or get a resident card.

Trolololol.

No check engine light or anything. Is it really grabbing that much more air that I need a tune?

Pictures?

What else did you do?

Because you can remove the entire intake setup and run open MAF and it'll still run WOT.
