I feel your pain and heard the "placebo effect" on here so many times. You're correct, you know your car and you know when you did something if it benefited it's performance. I've had my 2003 S since 2013 and it's my daily driver, matter of fact it's the only vehicle I own. So I know when I make a change and I feel a performance difference, good or bad, it's not a "placebo effect". Been modding cars many years myself, just a little over 30 years at that. Enjoy your performance gains!

Thanks for the positive guys. They are quick to jump in with the negativity but if they read it properly they would have seen not once have I quoted bhp/torque gains just quicker acceleration and better throttle response. Then in another coment said it was probably because of the higher rated fuel and performance filter.

This also is my daily driver so yeah I see differences when driving her.

Cheers guys :-)

Agree on not over oiling the K&N filter. Makes a mess of the TB and MAF. Previous owner did that to mine. I had to clean it all out and replace the MAF. That fixed CEL and performance issues. It works great now!
