Mine is the aFe. Its not metal but a modeled like plastic. I will keep an eye on things.

One more thing I like to add, I currently have an Injen intake and a Greddy Evo 3 exhaust. The last time I reset my ECU I did NOT get a dead spot, only the first time when I still had the stock exhaust /w Injen. Soooo.....I dont know what to explain out of this but just want to share something for you guys for what its worth.

Also, the last time I reset my ECU my mileage was around 4K vs 1.5k when I first experienced my last dead spot after an ECU reset.

sounds like you've got a bog problem and not a dead pedal problem.

get a tune or put the stock intake back on.

If you're on the stock flash it will take 50-100 miles for the ecu to adjust and remove the dead spot. Happened to mine whenever I reset the ecu.

getting the FA20CLUB Stage 2 tune today. :happy0180:

That's how my air raid felt when I first put it on. Now it feels great, I don't remember how long it took, but give it time and drive it.

back in the day i had a roomate who purchased a ebay cold air intake. when installing the cone filter he shoved the filter all the way onto the pipe so that the end of the pipe was mated to the very end of the filter..basically sealing off nearly all air becasue the piping was pushed up agains the rubber end of the filter. He then drove it and the car stalled a few times before he asked for my help then realized he had the filter shoved on the pipe to far.

This is a much better description. FACLUB20 Stage 2 tune purchased. Whats weird is the "bog" might be making the torque dip more pronounced. I will update the thread when I get my ECU flashed.

After looking at the install of the intake, I can see where there might be a problem. Its not sealed completely. Only on the bottom side which is hard to see unless you are looking. Wait for the car to cool down before fix it. I will try to post a picture, its hard to see.

I've been having the same problem with my Injen intake. It bogs out when it goes into idle and its even stalled out 2 or 3 times. I wanna try reseting everything after reading some of the suggestions. Any word from anyone if that solved your issues?

Its better. I think I still might have loss a bit of power. But I think this is due to me running rich on my AFR. Waiting to flash tune file sometime next week. So far no stalls or any idle issues, and no cels.
