Gruppe M Intake finally installed on my FL5

[02SilverSiHB]

Do you have a stock baseline?

No I went straight to get this dynoed when I got it lol. Didn't waste time. Just the tune prior with stock intake and cold weather Dyno above

All good. Car looks fresh! How does it feel compared to pre-tune?

Feels better throughout entire rpm range. Before I thought it was fine, but now I can feel it climb through rpms stronger vice feeling like it was hitting a wall at 5500rpm

It is great to hear that you are happy with the set up after the tune.

You will find that Gruppe M intake sound will be more and more pronounced and will put smile on your face ... I'm weird, I know ... LOL

Enjoy !!!

I hope we get more definitive data on whether it really needs a tune or not. Mine should deliver tomorrow and I sorta have no interest in tuning for now as car has plenty of juice for my local twisties.

someone else has this issue

it’s just too greasy / oily

you need to use alcohol to clean the contact point well before tightening it

Is the GruppeM filter an oiled filter?

Yes. Here is a link to the original filter:

For cleaning, you can use a K&N cleaning kit and reoil the filter.

Absolutely and do not overtighten. A snug connection is all that is needed. A very light coating of hairspray to the connection points is optional.
