My car was idling VERY rough at stop lights, so I stopped and lifted the hood. My JWT Popcharger filter had fallen off of the billet mount and was laying in the engine comprtment. The clamp was loose and the filter had bumped completely off. My question is, the filter may have been off for 100 miles or so. What problems might I have? How can I tell if debris has gotten in through intake and what are the signs of engine damage?

Also my Popcharger heat shield looks like it's rubbing on the alum AC hose. I am going to insulate the hose with some foam, but I just wanted to warn everyone to check your AC hose.

Thanks Andy

 

Thats strange, who did the install?? Should not have fallen off...


Anyways, probably not damaged too much, I know people who dyno with no filter, as well as run at the track with no filter installed. Id put the pop charger back on, and make sure it is installed correctly this time. Good luck!
