silicone reducer for vr6 to agu
« 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?

You mean the filter to the MAF?

don't fit it unless it's mapped to suit

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
