Get ride of the cone filter and replace your std air box back on with a green cotton filter. Clean the maf sensor and i bet all will be ok again.

i was told that the airbox is very restrictive on earlier scoobys dont know if that would be the cause

scoobyace

but the standard air box is on the car

kildare scooby

yeh but i was told by a tuner that they are power restrictive i changed mine to a blitz induction kit and the car seems more responsive and pulls better

scoobyace

my car seems like it is over boosting

the car kicks back when i put my foot down hard

most of the time when i am in the wrong gear eg

doing 60mph in 6gear then put my foot down to the floor
the boost goes to 1.1 bar then kicks back


can u help

They are fine up to around 350bhp. The Blitz filter isn't exactly a filter either....just stops small animals being sucked in! See this:
