Stage 3 guys, air filters??
What air filters are you stage 3 guys running??
Mine does NOT like the KNs, they must screw with the MAF reading.
I think mine runs best with charcoals and stock filters.

i had the K&N replacement on my oem boxes with my Stage 3 and it worked perfect . of course , i switched to Keith's ram air setup with huge K&Ns and it's still working great

I just fitted a pair of BMC filters to mine last night and thought it was a bit juddering this morning but that could just be warm up. Looks like we don't have the charcoal filters on our UK cars from what I saw when I took mine apart.

Exactly what I get. Cars perfectly fine with stock filters. Put KNs in an it feels like I lost 100hp.5 its jerky and shifts weird.

Why are you not runing the Weistec filters, they were developed and tested for the Weistec SC's.
Do not run K&N's the oil will screw up your maf's

Merc I know how you feel, I think we should make the switch.
I have not been driving my car hard since I have been breaking her in I am almost at 1,000 miles and need one last oil change. But yesterday I was doing a half throttle pull on the highway (which is a bit more then i have been pushing her) and I felt a bit of a hiccup in the throttle.
I agree with Jrcart we should just switch and use Weistec's filter. I know you say its not the oil since you have changed back to stock but there can still be oil on the Maf's from before?? idk? Did you clean the Maf's between swaps?
