Hi i removed my cold air intake on my new ea for the first time the other day trying to work out what the problem with my air con was i discoverd that some one had boared out 2 2and a half inch holes in the cold air intake snorkel should the be plugged or what some one told me i could run pvc piping to them and give it more cold air just woundering i taped up the $%^&s to see what would happen but it just stalled when i slowed down for round abouts but it idled fine...
since i have recently come from the dark side (former vl and r31 skyline owner) i know nothing about fords so i figure i should ask you fellas as you seem to all know your ford stuff |

hey mate,
just run a 3" pipe straight off the throttle body. u don't need to worry about a airfloe meter cause falcon don't hav em! they have a map sensor. it also depends on how ur gas is set up u may need to accomidate for that. more info would b helpful.

Makes sence racecraft but when it was blocked with tape it ran a tad better im guessing that the okey strap that holds the airflow box down might mean it has backfired once or twice since there arnt a set of clips there
