    m30 AFM & Kamotor CAI, swap advice needed!

    Hey guys I just need some advice and maybe a solution to get my car back to Daily Driving status. Just this weekend I learned how to replace a fuel tank thanks to Irone30 & DasBoots.. but before this installation, I installed the M30 AFM with the last digit 027 along with the Kamotor CAI. I started the car yesterday and driving was very jerky.. something I expected as the ECU should adjust to the change. Its been 2 days of driving.. sometimes its fine and running normal, but other times not so much. At idle it feels like it will die at any second. At a couple thousand RPM it takes a big stomp on the acceleration to get the car moving.. Is this normal.. or is their something I should be doing?

    Get rid of the M30 AFM all it caused was drive ability problems for me. No matter how much I tuned it would cause rough idle, or lean conditions that made the car run very weak If I wanted it to make more power I had to sacrifice idle quality if I wanted a good idle I had to lose top end power. Use the stock AFM or get a MAF conversion.( Setting the wheel 2 clicks looser on the M30 AFM will make the car not jerk around or lose power but your car's idle will be rough)

      Does this not work for the m20 afm? Setting the wheel that is. I'm pretty sure it does.

        yes it would work but why would you want to do that? Its already tuned for the M20.

          Get it to run a little richer. For epic flame spouting downshifts.
