Picked the car up at DB and it ran like butt all the way home. Obviously not as bad as before the intake was scaled but similar wild AFR swings. It's a scary feeling every time the car goes lean during cruise.

I'm going to try to install a shield/wind deflector over the filter tonight. There isn't a lot of clearance in the engine bay so I think there will be some Dremeling involved.

Nope, you're welcome here. I think what Aaron was observing is that you don't make many posts that don't mention your own car.

Don't you have the AMS intake shield?

I do but it was never installed (I have a catch can where that would have mounted). I was also planning to sell that intake once things are sorted.

I bought a shiny one. I'll take a look at some options for affixing it to the intake, perhaps I'll cut it down.

One funny thing is that the car idles perfectly, as if it doesn't have cams. It's really rich at idle due to the honking injectors so maybe that has something to do with it.

Due to your clogged fuel filter? What's your next moved after installing the new fuel filter?

The clean filter picked up 5psi but it still fell on its face.

My plan is afpr, BAP, and new fuel filter and then we'll try it again. That assumes I can figure out what's up with the intake (at least I assume that's the issue). I shouldn't be getting wild AFRs at cruise on the freeway. This intake did that when I drove it before it was scaled...it's better now but not close to good enough.

I have a fitting for the afpr setup ordered from Boomba and bought a BAP from DB today. I'll throw the BAP on this weekend. The other two when I have all the parts together.

My goal is to drop it off on the 13th. The BAP looks like a cake install but I'm not as good with fuel lines and fittings.
