AEM V2 Feels Sluggish

[tobrien1]

Fitted an AEM V2 this weekend. Sounds amazing although after fitting it and resetting the ECU the car feels a little sluggish, particularly VTEC. Is this down to the ECU having to 'learn' evrything again?

I'm not fussed about any gains the kit might or might not give I got it more for the sound it makes, just would be good to feel at least as it did before!

There aren't any, only losses, with this kit.

Not necessarily. It's not a bad kit for a short ram filter but you will need to add a small heat shield and some tubing to direct some cold air to the filter. A mate used to have one of these and did just that. The car did feel like it pulled a bit better especially in vtec but I wouldn't say it was amazing...
