LSD allows both tires to spin under accel, as per only one. like heads, 2 tires turning is better than 1.

Stall converters increase the effiency (spelling?) of the A4....Makes you go faster. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And dont remove the screen, its there to straighten out the air flow into the intake, so that your sensors can adjust the fuel to match the ammount of air that is comming in.
There are those that are going to say to remove it, yet personally I think that its not worth the possibility of rough idle, throwing SES codes and not allowing the PCM to do its job as it's designed to.

BTW

Run a search for all the info that you are seeking, becouse there is ALOT of info that you can get, without waiting to see what those are going to say about questions that you are asking.

Im sure that there are answers to all that you have asked thus far in the board somewhere....
They are just a "search" away.

Depends on the year model.....the '99+ V6's don't seem to have the problems that some of the earlier 3.8's did, due to the straight-in design of the lid. I haven't had any problems with mine, & I can't think of too many others w/newer-model ('99+) V6 F-bodies that have had any problems, either. Not trying to start a debate...just run a search on the topic of MAF screens-there are many opinions on the subject.
