Default "Missing Link" question....

On the missing link...

How often should you change the little filter piece that fits into the missing link itself?

Also, what kind of symptoms would you see if the filter is dirty or should be replaced?

Thanks FI guru's

Missing link just acts as a check valve to stop boost from entering the MAP sensor. If it was clogged I suppose the MAP sensor wouldn't see any intake pressure and therefor your car would run like **** and you'd get a CEL.

yeah it would just throw a cel. But I have never heard of anyone having to change the filter.

Okay, i just figured since they gave you so much you should change it after a while.
