intake

My little blue demon is acting bad( no power )
I was wanting to replace hoses and a few another thing under the intake .
Is there an easy way to remove the intake with out removing the fuel rail?

my car is surging and no get up and go and boggs down at highway speeds.

oh if someone knows which way is the flap in the RECIRCULATING AIR FLAP supposed to be .

come on guys... give me your two cents please

surging

Hi... I had surging issues with my kompressor. Found out the intercooler fluid pump was failing. Replaced the pump, and low and behold, all odd issues including loss of power were resolved. Maybe that's your problem if you have kompressor?
