I accidentally gave my Taco a boo-boo tonight.
While removing the air intake from the throttle body to put some new plugs in, the tube ripped! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> It was already kind of gone anyway, since the supercharger kind of put more stress on the ribbed bends, so the tear was almost bound to happen.

While attempting to duct-tape that section up as a temporary fix, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> the plastic coupling at the air box snapped off!!!!!!!!!

Right now, the intake tube is being held together by duct tape at one end, and some RTV gasket seal and zip-ties at the other end! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I'll need a new intake and air box, but the factory will be super expensive.

After going through eBay, it seems like I could get a legit K&N cold air intake (FIPK) for about the same price as the stock parts.

QUESTION: I heard an unsubstantiated rumor that those intakes will make a supercharged V6 run lean. Anybody know for sure?? It's one of those things where someone heard from a friend's brother's cousin's dog's trainer's girlfriend's boyfriend that the intake will trip the MAF sensor and throw codes.

Anyone have any first-hand experience with those puppies on the supercharged motor at all? I'm thinking I might as well just go with the K&N if I'm cornered into spending the money, but don't want to make a stupid decision! I mean, heck, my truck's already being held together with duct-tape and zip-ties! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />
