aem cai w/trd s/c
forget the car running lean...cuz i think thats wrong...ive talked to the manager at toyota as well as two shops and they said it will not be that dramatic but basically i have an aem cai...will it work with the s/c or do i need to mod it or what

k thanks for answering all my questions guys..helped alot...now im just gonna give em my stock airbox...if they cant use the aem ill just have em put the stock one on...i wont lose that much hp by taking the cai off and putting the stock back on will i?

for the amount of gains you'll get in the CAI compared to the stock airbox is it really worth taking the risk? i'd say stick with stock or like everyone says, you need to get it tuned. i believe that the guys here on SL know more than the managers / techs at toyota!

the choice of the risks is up to you.

And the manager and shop said you don't need a tune, but they could not tell you if you need to mod it to fit?

Oh...yeah...well that is exactly the same then, isn't it
j/k!
but if cess said they dynoed with the SC and stock air box, then dynoed with teh SC and CAI, and the AFR were in the 11-12, that's good enough for me.
Did you reset the ECU before hand? And how long was the CAI on before you ran it on the dyno. Oh, and since it was a dyno...was there an increase in whp?

I tried the MMW intake on my supercharger... at WOT, it worked great. Normal driving caused an extremely lean condition which caused my car to run like total crap. I let a friend try it and it seems to work ok for him.

the trick is to have it the correct size at the MAF. If the tube is too large the MAF will read wrong and put the car in limp mode. If the pipe diameter matches and the air flow is correct then there should be zero issues. That said most intakes are 2.5 or 3 inches and the stock S/C pipe is like 2.75 or something odd like that so getting it to work right is a little tough since the air flow/pipe size at the MAF will be incorrect. I believe the injen cai will work when cut to fit because it tapers down where the MAF connects.
