disconnect the airfilter hose it from the inside so u push the dirt out of the filter and not deeper inside it. let it dry naturally (dont blow dry) then put airfilter oil over it. then pop it back in and s'all good

You can buy air filter cleaner kits from any auto accessory place. Just spray the filter inside and out with the cleaning spray, let it sit for a bit then hose the filter from the inside out. When its dry spray it with the oil and put it back on :wink:

Its just another type of piggy back unit that allows Air / Fuel maps & ignition timing to be changed. Any piggy back will do the same. Gains will only be as good as the other mods that you have :wink:
