I don't think so but car has been shutting off and putting itself into neutral. I feel like throttle response should be better maybe a ECU tune would help

You’ve definitely got a massive air leak. When engine stalls the transmission automatically goes to neutral.

Well if it all started after installing charge pipe, I’d say most likely. I would either reinstall factory charge pipe or smoke test the intake system. Smoke testing would show you where the air leak is for sure.

It's most likely bc of the CP since it all started after the install.
For air leaks, they could possibly be from that rubber sleeve on the bottom (which now looks OK), or those holes (which you said are closed), or where it connects up top to the throttle body (but that looks OK in the pics). The last thing related to the CP I could think of is the sensor itself. If the sensor is effed up then it's going to tell the engine the CP is wrong even if it's right. Did you double check to make sure the sensor on the CP is back on right? Maybe the other sensor up by the air intake you might of had to remove for the install? Offhand I forget which is named what (MAF etc...shows you how well I know these engines so far...). When I installed mine I obvi had to remove the sensor plugged into the CP but also that one connected to the air filter intake tube, worth checking... |

The shop I work at charges 1 hours labor to thoroughly pressure test a charge air system with high volume smoke. Smoke machines and master tech labor isn't cheap, but you'll get your answer. It is usually something dumb, a simple oversight, rolled/missing oring etc and that is usually correctable and retested within that time allocation.
I can't tell you how many N5x cars have come in completely missing the oring at the throttle body because the aftermarket charge pipes don't usually come with it and they don't change it over from the stock pipe. #2 source is the intercooler pipes not properly seated and securely clamped into place. If resolving your issue quickly and accurately is screwing you over by all means keep doing what you're doing. |

Where are you located? It may appear perfect to you, but the faults your car has are indicating that you’ve got a n air leak. Sounds like you’ve gotten in over your head, time to take to someone who knows what they are doing. Also, no shop is going to rip you off if they are a reputable company.

You are paying for their knowledge. You are paying for their equipment. You are paying for their time. Do you want your car fixed or not?

I just finished installing my charge pipe today! Everything went smoothly, putting the new charge pipe in a a tad difficult. But either then that easy! I went for a test drive and everything works fine, no check engine light , car pulls hard, is great!
