[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8911142, member: 683408"] Sure is. The computer keeps the car running without the AFM, but barely. So you weren't really "balls deep" working on your ZX. Just minor top end stuff like distributor caps, wires, plugs. Weekend wrench stuff. Cool. And when you don't, you claim an AFM is not an AFM, that you have an "speed density car", and you put blowoff valves on cars, thinking it creates more horsepower. I actually never had a problem once I wiped them down with brakeclean and a rag. Never had the radiator fan hit my timing light, either. You said you eliminated the restrictor and put on a blowoff valve to compensate. That's not how it works. Pretty common knowledge. A boost controller is manual by definition. The user sets the final boost pressure. Boost only happen under acceleration. A blow off valve works when you let off the gas, not when you are accelerating. Did you think you were increasing boost by putting one on the car? Increasing boost during deceleration? [/QUOTE]
