Any update on the CEL? I ended up buying an AWE S-Flo and had the same issue as I was with the previous intake. I gave up and brought it in to the dealer for a smoke test and it turns out there was a vacuum leak coming from the charge pipe. They replaced it under warranty and I have not had the CEL come back in a few weeks or few hundred miles. Normally the CEL would be back within 10 miles or so after clearing.

If you're or anyone else is still having trouble with this code, I'd highly recommend getting a smoke test done so you can find any vacuum leaks. They may be in surprising places.

I actually pmed him as I was looking at the AIRVIP intake and wanted to see if he had figured out the cel issue. He ended up getting a K&N typhoon intake and didn't have any other cel.

Thanks for the info. If you're still looking at the AIRVIP intake, I have mine posted up in the for sale section. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.
