    Question Short ram air intake installation

    hi guys ..

    im considering doing a short ram air intake into the bora ... figured ill listen to what the VR has to say ..

    just wondering if it is recommended to reset the ECU after installing it ..

    and how to go about resetting it ?

    cheers

    Why do you want a short runner?
    Will only cost you torque on an NA engine.

    Short ram air intake installation

    Think he is meaning just a pod filter rather than intake mani. Right Sam?

    If that is case Sam, than no. You don't need to reset it. You won't notice a difference with a different filter other than an almighty ROAR!

    Could you please let me know how this goes and any improvements etc, I've been thinking about doing this for a while but haven't quite got around to it yet.

    will do mate , im not expecting anything great .. the sound will be "sexy" .. throttle response might improve .. fuel economy will go down for sure .. partly due to the ecu not being tuned for the abundance of air .. and partly because i will be putting my foot down to listen to said "Sexy sound" ..
