it has so much vacume that it will pull your gasket into the tb.I also have the K&N filters.
Just for fun I did a first gear pull with no filters and the car was way faster,soo my next mod is def a bigger box.
ps dont try this at home.
I did it in a clean area with no sand or anything on the road and was just one quick pull to see if it made a difference.
It def did and I can see why the gasket got sucked in.

When dyno tuning my car in LA, Vadim kept telling me "there is some type of restriction". We discovered that I was using an older part from the early days of TB modding. It's the piece that the TB connects to. That picked up some hp and THEN when we put on the VRP airbox, she jumped something like 20whp. Car is just starving for air.

I thought the problem was in the intake side? Granted it needs a better air box but wouldn't a bigger TB help as well? Maybe we're talking about two related but different things. Just thinking that you can open the air box but if it all goes to one smallish TB it still hits a bottleneck.
