That's what we can't nail down...what's causing the problem on those cars with the V-Flow. There have been 28 votes, and from what I can determine, only 9 posted to say something about their vote. None of these guys were able to say what the real cause of their problem was.

Once again, why would I call the manufacturer that stands to gain by selling the product? Here is another dyno showing just a 6 hp gain straight from the EVO website. Just for the record, I don't know what kind of car it was, conditions, or any other variable that may have manipulated the figures. Which is it 5, 15 or 20 hp? Or does it depend on the variables that I cited earlier? These alleged numbers are on a modified car with headers. 700 bucks for an alleged 6 horsepower and possible CEL/MAF problems? To each his own, it's a free market.

Not knowing the "directly" or "indirectly" part is what skews the information.
What would be nice to know is what components (and in terms of OEM components their part numbers in case there have been different releases of that part) that if installed on a Turbo with the V-Flow, might cause the car to run abnormally.

Try not to be so sensitive...
If you don't want a V-Flow then so be it - I couldn't care less if you have one or not. Are you trying to talk others into not buying one too?

Agreed.

You asked for dyno results in a previous post, and I supplied one.

The MAF question is just the kind of thing that would be good to know - have there been changes made by Porsche over the years that are not reflected in different part numbers being assigned, or maybe there isn't enough quality control by Porsche to produce consistent equally performing units?
