Hi guys as the title says, sounds great but i have the chrono pack on my car and noticed the pressue seems to be higher now ive installed the box. If i took it to say 6000 RPM the pressure would probably be off the map so im a little cocerned is this normal ? should i revert back to the normal box please help

Thanks in advance

Does the pressure drop after the oil has got up to temperature? if the pressure is still above the middle mark(can't remember the number off the top of my head) it would sound like something isn't right, the air filter shouldn't have any effect on oil pressure.

Great now you just need to replace the filter in the air box - I installed the GTT/JCW hybrid air filter and it improve my JCW airbox by no end - I post a link below
