are the cold air intakes on all tc's the same? i found a used AEM cai but it is for an 06 i was wondering if it would fit my 08?

 

nope, the maf sensor is a bit smaller for -7-08.

if you are deadset on getting it go to home depot and get an oring that fits over the maf oring, it will seal up the hole....but you have to make new screwholes.

btw, that's not forced induction

 

so i cant use one from 04 to 06?

 

tc started 05

but yes you can, go to home depot and grab an oring to fit around the maf sensor, it should sit properly int he hole after that.

 

dude just buy the right one. save ur self some hassle... idk i totally wouldnt want to drill into something i payed 200 bucks for.

 

its to much hassle dotn do it. Plus you need to SEARCH. wrong section also.

 

seriously, you go to home depot and get an oring and slip it on, that's hardly any hassel.

 

or... you could save later headaches and get the right part... serisouly.. don't do it all jerry status.

 

aen your right its not that much hassle to get those parts but i said hassle cause i would want the correct part. Escpecially being the MAF is a vital part into your cars runnign condition. I mean im not saying it wont work i just saying go with the right part in this case.

 

make sure the filter doesnt have any oil. if it does your check engine light will go off everytime. but a good way to reset it so it goes away is to just disconnect the battery and then reconnect it

 

yeaahh, just get the right one lol

 

well yea but if you are going to save like 200+ by getting this and getting an oring i dunno that's just me though.

im DSmer so i do what i can with ingenuity

 

oh well then i undertsand your mentality on that.

 

Hmm...I like that o-ring idea. I want the ARC induction box, but it was only made for the 05 & 06. I'm curious about trying this out now...

 

the holes for 07 08 are only smaller by a certain oring that you can get at home depot, theres a pack for like 2 bucks

 

.....just buy the right one!

 

x2

 

05-06 tC intakes DO NOT FIT 07-08 tC's........it's that simple........

 

the fix is this


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's THAT simple.

 

aen..just swapping an o-ring won't make an 05-06 intake work on an 07-08 tC because the mounting holes for the MAF are in completely different locations. In this pics you can see the RED circles are the mounting holes for 07-08 tC's and the BLUE circles are where the mounting holes are for 05-06 tC's.
