could be 2 things

1-adjust your dump valve, do you hear it close? unlike BOV ours kinda works diferently, its open all the time then closes for boost.
2-belt slippag, tighten belt

+1, saw pic of a larger one that was more cylinder shaped and it extended through the intake hole behind the top portion of the front bumper.

Nexx your pm box is full. I'm going to use the HKS Super Mega Flow Reloaded. Long name huh. It'll be above the IC and require some piping.

well i guess that makes me SOL bc the G Coupe doesnt have that hole in front of the filter. Just AC hardlines

I don't know how much room you have in the G. I was going to put the filter directly on the Vortech, I think it would fit but I'd have to pull the radiator to get it in. I decided it would be easier to pull the bumper cover and pipe it in. Better air anyway.

Had to take out the bumper. Wasn't planning to bump into anything anyway.
