Title: silicone reducer for vr6 to agu
Post by: sharki786 on 28 August 2013, 07:12

I have a s2k filter and the forge k03 (s) tip. Which is the best out of these to use?

Bump.
I will just use the housing as someone has said before you can just use the casing so no need for a reducer.

If you fit it before it's mapped you will throw all sorts of fuelling into your engine leading to loss of power and worst case bore wash. The VR6 MAF element itself is said to be exactly the same as the AGU version.

Also another point is if you enlarge the MAF you'll need bigger injectors

AGU needs Calibra yellows or Saab reds depending on your setup

If a MAF is reading a certain g/s and you increase the housing by X% it will read lower, your fuelling will be running at X% lower than what it should be. Running lean is not good.
