    AFM Issue?

    maybe i didn't make it clear enough, you do need a special cleaner, i used electrical cleaner, used to clean open wires and computers.. it sprays on and dries itself. you are right though most cleaners will toast the sensor. but i say again.. a special cleaner spacifically designed to clean it...

    scoop too ricey?

    when i think about a scoop i think about the WRX STI... i also think about muscle cars. scoops and vents are fine on your hood. Huge wings on front wheel drive cars, are not. i think its funny that you would consider a roof scoop because i have never seen a use for them in the past, and this...

    oil smoke after 5mins of starting at random times

    Best 3 inch catback for a mk3

    Get a 4 inch inlet/exhaust only if you are running a big turbo that requires it. otherwise it would be a waste of time and money (KISS theory). 4 inch exhausts are loud, and not very legal, then again neither would be having that big of a turbo on your car in the street in most cases. HKS...

    AFM Issue?

    all you need is a piece of wire to check the code. if i remember right the code is either 11 or 21. check that air filter too.. i have a hunch the sensor is dirty because of the infamous k&n air filter you have (the oil gets all over the Mass airflow sensor and screws it's ability to detect the...
