Default ordered a couple things.

so lately my car has had a bad hesitant at low rpms, and kinda falling on its face at 5000 rpms. i noticed my stock intake elbow is torn pretty bad and sucking air, will this cause this? i would think so since then theres an air leak at the TB and the MAF isnt getting all the airflow? regardless i ordered a 1LE elbow and a lingenfelter cold air intake. i've also been mysteriously loosing coolant. but i cant find a leak, other than i noticed my intake gasket was a little leaky on the back, but i could only see that when i had my clutch and such off for my clutch swap (which went smoothly) and i'm curious if i could be loosing coolant there? my car doesnt overheat and doesnt steam or anything head gasket related. i know im kinda dragging on and not making too much sense so basically i just need 1. some input on the elbow deal 2. anyone have the lingenfelter CAI? how is it? 3. coolant loss?

thanks guys,

Yes the tear will definitely cause the hesitation and bad idle. I have the lingenfelter intake I like it alot had the Moroso intake and hated it. Do you blow any white smoke out the tail pipe? Could have a small leak somewhere but is drying before you can see it check by the opti and all the lines for leaks.

unmetered air coming in can always cause random problems

if you need a new elbow, buy a trickflow, don't waste money on oem/oem style ones

the white smoke on startup is just condensation in your exhaust being burnt out

Once you order from the WS6 store you will always go back, Mike Kasser is a great guy to deal with (person who take and ships all orders) You wont be disappointed
