Carbon airbox, air leak, MAF malfunction
So I got carbon airbox installed, I got couple questions
1) how do I know if I get any air leak ? Since the airbox not 100% fit like oem (around MAF)
2) I feel great response and car breath smoother, how do I know if it get hitcuo like other member experience after install the airboxes ? Some timr I feel the car jerk alot bc I push on the paddle too hard and and real quick, is this kind of hickcup ?
3) how do I know if I get any air leak or MAFal function? Will I get any CEL?
By the way, pass 48h alreadt, no cel.

It depends on where the leak is. If it's in front of the MAF then probably not. If it's after the MAF and you have unmetered air going in then you probably will get a CEL.
