Hopefully i'm not porked over here...
So i have the AEM CAI, bought the car with it already on it. The car ran decent for the most part when I bought it off a buddy of mine. However, the tires worn down to the thread were a sure sign that he'd beaten the thing like a red-headed step child... Anyway after a while of getting used to the car and everything I started noticing a problem with it while climbing RPMs... around 4.5k-5.5k it would feel as though the boost would drop rather than climb. No CEL's ever came on so being the novice i def was at the time and still kind of am today, I figured it was just one of those things that would just get worked out on its own... and for the most part it did. The jumpiness of the boosting while climbing RPMs has faded greatly since the addition of the UP/DP... however about 3 days after adding them I got a CEL. Took it back to the shop and they told me that since the DP was catless that the censor was reading "too much smog" and thats why the CEL came on. He charged me $12 and said he put on a little wire kit that bypassed the code. CEL was gone and hasn't come back since. However the entire time since I've first got the car i've noticed an overall drop off in peak performance from the car, and it just so happens the shop that did all the work on my car decided to fall off the face of the planet after talk of shady buisness. Any ideas as to the hole I've got myself in or am I just paranoid and this isn't that big of a deal?
