Did you read about the guy that had this same problem with a tune and stock intake with the resonators taken out? Makes sense. It has to be an intake resonance problem that probably exists in every BRZ that runs without the stock resonators. Some setups will probably react more radically than others, like cars running the visconti tune. Even the subaru engineers said this car has issues with it. It's been said that's a reason for the torque dip that nobody can explain. When you took out the stock intake did you notice all the crazy helmhortz chambers?
Your best course of action might be to either wait for Visconti to get some time to really investigate the issue or contact TiC and see if they can help you out since they have fixed this issue in the past (with a tune). |
I'm going to. But you're missing the point completely. Injen and AIRAID sell intakes under the impression that they work without needing a tune. Neither explicitly say "You may need a tune in order for proper operation of the intake".
What about the people who are having issues with the intake, but don't want to spend 1000$ on tuning the car? The ECU cables are on backorder for at least a month. Are these people SOL?
We get it, you enjoy your intake and it actually works for you. Congrats. The people in this thread aren't so lucky. You're not exactly helping the cause by basically telling us to shut up and deal with it. I've already spent 250$ on the intake, and now I have to go and spend more money having @
Visconti fix the issue with it? Try putting the shoe on the other foot.
I live in the city, and there's no point in using this product if I can't drive around where I live. Plain and simple.
