OK I've come to the conclusion that I have an airleak somewhere in the intake side. The idle fluctuates all the time as well. Im sick right now so ill get to it soon. So I just put around. Also what I have noticed, is that I don't have to be floored to hit max boost. Weird

You can fine air leaks by spraying the suspected junction with starting fluid. The engine will speed up when you hit the right spot. Be advised that starting fluid is extremely flammable, so common sense is a prerequisite. Keep a fire extinguisher handy just in case.

It's not a stupid question and it depends on the MAF, but every one I've seen has had an arrow on it indication air flow direction. Looking at some of them it's clear they only read one way, with others it looks like they'd work the same both ways.

I hope you meant MAP sensor. The MAF sensor is definately directional and needs to be installed correctly. MAP and TMAP sensor can be installed in any orientation in 360 degrees and still work.

Yes MAP sensor. I didn't catch that error. Thanks for the answer:)

When I installed my Hahn piping and intercooler I had to install the temp sensor 180 out and it's worked fine for a few months now so thats not a problem. I'm not sure how the Dejon pipes fit but mine were really tight and I needed to do a lot of fine tuning of there position when I got it all together. Also I used T-clamps not the cheaps ones that came with my kit, again I'm not sure what clamps Dejon uses but if there not good clamps then change them. You might want to also check the o-ring that seals the temp sensor to the cold pipe as that could easily get damaged during removal and re-install.

For some reason it hasn't done it in a while but I'm going to remover the Lower IC piping and put the stock one back on. I don't like the fitment of it and maybe because of the IC it'self. I don't like how the lower IC piping rubs on the AC compressor.

Would water in the fuel cause pinging? Like I said, it hasn't done it in a while. weird freaking car.
