    VF HSV GTSR air filter

    I found this online and did some research. It's seems to be AEM dryflow air filter made for HSV GTSR (not W1). HSV claims this gave GTSR LSA extra 5kw. (435kw) Unlike K&N this one is not oiled. Online research tells me AEM filter flow almost as good as K&N BUT the filtration is almost...

    VF SS Cold Air Intake options - my take on them...

    In the past 5 years I have had all these intakes except for VCM. I have seen vcm and read a lot about it so will comment on it as well as it seems popular. OEM setup is basically 2006 design that was the same on all commodores. It changed slightly for VF II but it's still restrictive if you...

    In theory, if the car is tuned to suit OTR CAI, and the stock intake and airbox was put back on, would this be an issue ? i.e. running lean/rich; errors etc. Just curious... Like if the car was being sold etc.
