Garrett-21 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Is a SRI better for the engine than a CAI?? problem wise?? CAI can sometimes pic up water and snow. stuff like that but all you need is a sheild.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lufergupdown Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I live in Maine.... so snow will be a problem... but if i get a shield it will be fine. I've heard a lot about the air flow sensor messing up with CAI.... is there anyway to get around that.. or is that just a luck thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumbex Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Has anyone installed underdrive pulleys? Supposedly you can get about 5-10 hp from these aftermarket pulleys. Is it a overestimate of gains or will this actually increase performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexi Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 If you're looking to increase power, pulleys and cai on a 2.5i are a huge waste of money, it won't do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
