    There is no MAF on these cars. It draws air through the computer to help with cooling for the computer. Many people have removed the airbox and done a custom cone filter and tubing with no issues.

    In hot temperatures yes the Power Module can overheat. As long as it is in the stock location, even without the air box it should be OK.

    Since nice condition stock CSX parts are coming harder to find, anything you take off of it be sure to hang onto!

    Similar to GN... more boost, larger injectors. What are you goals?

    Stock is about 7-9 ish with the Stage II Logic Module it will run ~12psi. how many miles on it? if the catalytic converter is plugged it may run less?
