GT and GTST are so right, me chuckled.

On par with watching my neighbors cat hump their dog.

Wait.. not that "I've" made that mistake... :thumbsup::)

Figure out how what you've changed, and how 'what you've done' has upset that, you'll get there.

AFM is an electrical device and it sits in the hot engine bay day in day out.

get's hot, then cools, then hot then cool.. for how many years?

it is common for the AFM plug to get brittle with all that heat.

it is also pretty common for them to get dry Solder joints within the AFM.

so they can play up.

makes it even worse if the AFM is attached to a pod which is not braced against something..

so.. if you do a search for the words SOLDER+AFM, you will come across a thread that talks about this and instructions on how to fix it.

however, if I were you, I'd get myself a factory airbox and filter, fit it and test it out.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
