Are those bolts located in the same place on a 00 GS? Because I am having the same problem as him.

yes, you should have those same rivets if you still have the stock intake.

WOT = Wide Open Throttle

in most cars, its like greater than 75% of the throttle is pushed down.

RE: Hiss and No Power at 4500 RPM

Sorry to bring this up again, but I think I might know what the problem is now. I took out my intercooler today and as i was removing it the rubber piece that goes around the intercooler that then connects to the piping is broke (almost all the way around) So there is definitely air being loss. Is this the problem? Please help.

Hey guys. It was most definitely that rubber piece. It made a BIG difference. I also removed the BCS restrictor, and all I have to say is "DAMN!!!" Thanks again guys. My car is running beautifully. Thanks.
