OK so I was under the impression though that the Renix engine air intake was different than the HO one. From what I read it seems more complicated than just a air filter and a tube

Anybody can confirm that ?

I like the idea of keeping that old girl's engine running good with minimum mods to the engine so i am cool with that. I already confirmed that the little gate closes with the vacuum applied and I just need to find the time to look into the temperature sensor and other components....


Chips the explanation makes total sense to me as well...gas economy vs power.... difficult to have both I guess (difficult, but not impossible )

Blue the MAP sensor is important I knew that lol (always forget about it though ) especially when you live at higher elevation so that too makes sense.
