I've reset my computer several times before trying to get my intake to work right with my car.
Is there a chance that I may need to have my computer reprogrammed?? my intake is on right, no CEL, everything seems to be fine but its still running like sh!t. Worse than stock.
may I need to have the computer reprogrammed??

Is you IAT sensor hooked up now? It will run awful without it and IIRC you said you were looking for a new one.

How did you reset your computer?
first I removed fuses 4 and 11 (or 3 and 20 as they say on the fuse)
then today I just disconnected the negative connection from the battery
still no luck
I'm pretty sure there are no more exhaust leaks because it revs just fine, and its not bogging like before...its just running like ass now.

Just because it revs fime doesn't mean there isn't a leak.... mine would rev fine but would accelerate slow when I had a leak.

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

no but when I had a leak before it would suck it a shitload of air then rev...huge delay between pushing the gas and the actual rev
trust me, its not a leak...I've experienced what its like when it leaks...its been [censored] ever since the first time I reset my computer
I'm assuming its still the sensor...i've put my intake on atleast 3 times now so I know its nice and tight
theres how it runs when theres a leak(which I've experienced) and then theres how its running now

Try putting on the stock intake and see if the symptoms remain. If so then you can guess it's either IAT of maf.
