> no, you took that all wrong. both motors had bearing materail in the oil. the car would over boost to like 18 pounds with the gay aem intake on it. now the car does not have the intake installed. the car never goes about 10 pounds so whats the big deal i just want another honda

Intake + No tune to scale MAF + Turboback = Boost creep + lean condition from unscaled MAF = BOOM

The math speaks the truth.
