Car been at dealers today and they couldn't find any problem (whats new). Said they have tightened the rocker cover bolts up and told me to keep a close eye on it in the next couple of weeks. So I'll see how it goes.

Also put stock airbox back on before going to dealers and car is pulling loads better than with the dynatwist on:confused:
Dynatwist filter not that dirty so anyone got any ideas what could be causing it, MAF etc. First time stock airbox has been back on since revo but can't see why dynatwist should be worse than stock.

Cleaned MAF with some IPA isopropyl cleaner and loads better. Got dynatwist back on too.
Coating on hose turns out to be condensation on outside of pipe. Cleaned it down and went for a drive and when checked the moisture was clean and clear.
Happy days again.

Dave,

Could this be due to the remap? never noticed it before then.

Also was wondering if anything is to be gained by changing spring in dv and or cold side relocation after remap. What is your opinion?

There would be condensation on the pipe because it's colder than the surrounding engine bay (because of the air having been through your intercoolers).

Personally, I don't think a cold side kit is worth bothering with. I do think you should get a stronger yellow spring in your DV though.

my car ran badly with the dynatwist CIA routed to behind the headlight (its much better if you remove it all together), the best results i logged were with the feed down to the foglight. two friends also had problems with their CAI on..
