[s-cars] Reducing 'Negative Boost' Anyone?

[Steve Voit]

Tony:
I agree with your comments on the physical arrangement; there's got to be a
better, more appropriate, material to use.  Beyond the mechanical bits, I
hit a hard stop on the need for boost controller.  What is involved in
getting one of these set up properly?  Is there a way to avoid boost
controller with a parameter change in the ECU?
How is it that the ECU is fooled by the negative boost repair?
Lookin for a simple answer!
Thanks,

Hi Steve,

I was planning on implementing a new aire intake system similar to that
described in the article, probably in the Spring as temps are rapidly
dropping in Ottawa - had a few snow flakes fall this afternoon.

Anything has go to be better than the current intake snorkel. If you take a
close look at it no wonder there's negative boost.

Tapping off the oil cooler intake snorkel is still probably a good idea, but
I've yet to identify a suitable hose -  I'm not keen on teh ABS pipe used.
Also I got to figure out a way to do it without removing the front bumper if
I can.

Anyway, something to ponder over the long winter nights.
