Check out Pedros Garage ... he has a hack.

Bobiam: The car initially started fine. It was on the drive that it went nutso. And so did I...lol. To say I was concerned is an understatement. Once I ran through everything, I figured the only thing I could have done wrong was getting the air leak. Easy fix. Had to have a couple of cold ones to calm me down though! Now I have to find a code reader to elimnate the darn cel's it threw off when it was all screwy.
And yes... pedro's site has instructions for the air inlet hack eliminating the muffler. ( www.pedrosgarage.com) . It's also on my list of to-do's.

If by wart you mean that little cup at the end of the inlet that looks like a holy water holder (for lack of a better description) It comes right off, then if you wish you can leave the now wide open inlet stack in place.

The guy in post 103 called it a wart and there is a pic there. I can't recall what a holy water bottle looks like. On my way to hell, I guess!

Haha. naw you aren't going to hell for that...
Actually what I was talking about is under the side vent where one de snorkels. If you want to do a "partial" de snorkle you can remove the cup that looks like a finger dip well. The wart dealio is a new one to me..

Everytime I try to go to Pedro's page the computer is so slow it nearly locks up. It makes it nealy impossible to navigate his site. Is it just my computer, or is anybody else having issues? I'll try my lap top at home and see if I have the same issue there as well.

No problems accessing it from my pc and speed is decent too, most likely an issue on your end somewhere

I've never had an issue with his site accessing it from 4 different computers.

I noticed some rendering issues with his site yesterday on the DIY motor mount page using IE on Vista 64 - guessing it has to do with glow/drop shadow for text. Page load was really slow, and the text was unreadable.
I chalked it up to IE and Vista and moved to my Mac.

Looks like it was built with iWeb, which while easy to use, doesn't exactly produce efficient websites. Most of the text, for example, has been converted to images. This makes files much larger, in turn taking longer to load.
That said, I've had no problems viewing his page.
