Everyone is encouraged to submit tech info or how to posts to be added in FAQS as long as it is Prelude specific. If you see a thread you feel belongs in FAQS, please click on the "Report this post to a moderator" button and we will place it here if it is good info.


When Posting questions to the forum be sure to have a clear title , with model / year included, dont worry about using too many words. Most people first sentence inside the post is a perfect subject title. But they use a "Hey how bout this" , blank statements , vague questions like "Intakes" Then you see First line What about AEM Intakes. Topic should have been "AEM Intakes , plus what year and car you have." Incorrect posts might be deleted.
