mass air..any probs?

Just installed mine on Monday. Everything swaps out nice as far as the electronics go. Very simple.

The only problem I ran into is that the aluminum elbow included with the kit rests firmly against the shock tower. I had to drill a new hole for the MAF bracket in order to force it all over a bit to clear the tower. It is still pretty close, but the unit looks really good on the car, and it doesn't hit the tower as far as I can tell under throttle.

A little clearancing on the tower itself would help a lot.

After I hooked the battery back up, it fired right up, searched for the idle for a minute, and it hasn't given me a problem since (using the stock filter box with K&N).

Oh yeah, the kit comes with an adapter sleeve to fit the kit to the stock TB, so you'll have no problems.
