Pretty much common knowledge here already but doesn't hurt to remind everyone. It's the reason why I don't like oiled filters like K&N.
You can also do cleaning of the throttle body valve & the odd spray of TB/carby cleaner into a intake vacuum pipe.
& if you believe tonites news report, the antarctic ice caps aren't melting, they're actually getting bigger.

many people on this forum own many different cars that they don't wish to... disclose...so there is no need to apologise...anyway, you said it was a work car? unless your are self emplopyed, its not really yours
and i haven't meet anyone yet who complained about driving a company car and I am sure many people here also hold the late Mr Brock in very high regard.
Good reminder tho, alot of this type of info can easily get lost in the detritus of a large forum like this...

After being defected on Sat, I removed my pod filter and returned the original air box and plumbing to its correct place. I ended up getting a very noticeable increase in power by the ummm, downgrade???

It's hard to sort out something like over the net, let alone with no information on what car it is. Location could help to as someone might be close who could just drop in and take a look.

I've got $10 says he did the latter, and broke the wires inside as a result.
