Would take viper off untill you get a new chip or re map. Had a viper on my old 206 gti and it fu*ked the car up big time. Oil was cream e cut out on me lots and mpg was sh*t. Put a hi flow panal filter in and car was running better than ever quicker faster and a lot more happppppppppy.

1. Take out viper

2. close eyes and chuck old air box in

3. pray all night long to god, buda, mr kiplin

4. wake up and go for a spin as good as new .

It worked for me :::: )))))))
