That is exactly why I installed it (well and the performance). I went 38 miles before loss of boost. And don't confuse loss of boost with no boost. If you listen closely you can hear the it is venting through the BOV. Beginning to think hitting the ac comp isn't the only issue. I'm going to solder the upper wires next then if I can ever get my hands in far enough to disconnect the lower MAF do those. Grrr...

*Update*

Soldered the upper MAF wires Saturday AM. CEL at 18 miles. Reset and made it another 6 miles before CEL and limp home mode. However, I had installed 1/2 spacers under the airbox lid after reading another thread here. My car did not like the K&N and appears also doesn't like the lid open. Removed the spacers yesterday afternoon. Fingers crossed...
Still very happy with the TTR upgrades though!

Just an FYI, they're not made/needed for the auto tranny.

Cool, 'cause they're not cheap either!

Thanks!

Love my mount too way different sound to the exhaust here too sounds snappier. The Goodwrench boys came up with this bracket for the lower sensor problem, and so far have all kinds of boost 22 with no problems.

so are there any problems with changing the upper motor mounts? the advantages are, more power to the ground, less wheel hop. how does it feel for every day driving?

Especially, if you have stg1, or a tune. Puts the power down on the road.
