Do I need to get it tuned so the air/fuel mixtures are right or is it ok as is? Also, I took the plumbing pipe off the stock BOV so it vents into the atmosphere. Before I put the F6 cooler on, it used to be quite loud and flutter sometimes. Now the F6 cooler has made the ptshhh alot quieter and almost no flutter at all. Is that normal for a larger cooler? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent aftermarket cooler will reduce pressure drop and have better flow. hence why you need a re-tune... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway got mine from autobarn. Comes in pack of 4. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
