Erg,i just did this mod. I took the box out, cut the bottom of the box out, drilled 15 or so 1/2 inch holes in the fenderwell, and put mesh over the holes. I was all excited, got in my car, and no change. No throttle responce, no added noise, no DV noise, nothing. Anyone know y? is there something i missed? i have read all 292 of the poasts on this...

Make the holes more like an inch in diameter.

that sounds like a vac leak or a boost leak. both bad. I had similiar problem check all hoses and connections. particularly the L hose near the intake mani.
