Fzust, there is no problem with desnorkling and running a green filter with this kit, right? I am at altitude, so maybe the extra airflow will help decrease my loss.

On the altitude loss, would it be ok to run a smaller pulley without a tune? Or is this something I should get all the aftermarket SC's in the area together for and do a group buy on flying Charlie out for high altitude smaller pulley tune?

Regarding the MAF, I found mine to look a little coated with a black film. Did you say that using an electronic terminal cleaner spray would not work to clean it? I used that on my boxster, when I unfortunately had one, to clean the MAF, and it seemed to work fine.

Sorry - long sloppy post.
Green filter is no problem, de-snorkle is no problem, but loses power(at least we proved it in our testing) Makes more noise however.

I would not recommend the smaller pulley with the same tune. Your gas at altitude is crappier to account for the thinner air!

Terminal cleaner may work, but I don't know if it will damage the thin film element.
