Has anyone taken the screen out of a vararam otr?
After over a month my vararam "tune" intake finally showed up. After i got it out to look at i noticed the screen is messed up on the edge where its set into the plastic and i am worried in time itll send small metal chunks into the motor. Ive even been able to move small little pieces around gently with a pick.
So, i am wondering if i can just remove the screen and since its already going to get a tune, just have my tuner tune for it. Ill call the tuner and vararam tomorrow. Just figured id also ask here. |

Post some pics if you can, I'm curious what it looks like.
But I wouldn't remove the screen. It helps to smooth out the airflow so the MAF can read it easier. Turbulent air is hard to read and can/will throw off fueling so it's best to leave it.

Ill post pics when I can. Never heard back from vararam. I did find very similar if not identical replacment screen. I may just remove the original one and get a replacement. If the tuner fights the tune ill put the new one in. And just have it setup and ready so its a quick change.
