I have some extra t bolts that Im going to install at the throttle body just to make sure everything is clamped securely. I'm going to look at everything this weekend and see if I can find out if there is a leak somewhere. about the idle, it seems to idle smoothly but sometimes idles a little rough. the thing I notice the most is when the car is warmed up and idling the revs will drop a little then go back to normal. idle doesn't bounce around but drops slightly then goes back to normal. it's also not the fan kicking on either because the fan doesn't come on when the revs drop. hope this makes sense.
hmmmm.... I haven't been around my car while it was warmed up and idling to see if it does this, so i'm not sure about it.... i'm to cheap with gas lol. It's always possible though. How many miles are on the set-up since everything was installed?

There is also the chance the mechanic damaged the MAF sensor when doing the install. Not like most people are going to be honest and pay 200 or however much those things are to replace it.

Yeah, that's so odd. I really think the issue will wind up being a MAF sensor going bad or something along that line, but hopefully not.

that would be ok with me. I just don't want my problem to b a mechanical one where it's going to need warranty work.

My G3's don't move around a lot. The right side intake is really secure and the left has a little more play. I used a dremel to route out the stock holes so that intake pipe could fit through. If they took out the stock plastic pieces and put your intake pipes in I could see them having a ton of play. That's weird though that you had them installed at Stillen and they deviated from their own instruction manual on how to do the install. Hmmmm...
