Default MAF ends on an A4

does the addition of STOCK ported mass air ends make the A4 shift softer?/

Need to know ASAP please <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Do not used ported MAF ends with an A4. Ported ends have been proven to decrease transmission line pressure and possible cause premature tranny failure. You can de-screen the MAF and do any other trimming to eliminate obstruction, but do not home port or add other ported MAF ends IMO.

Orange Krush,

I would not use ported MAF ends even with the HPP set at 100% line pressure. Ported TB's are fine, but keep the MAF ends descreened and unported and you'll avoid potential tranny problems down the line.
