HEY DUDE!
first, going from 19 pounds to 24 is a change, although a minor one, you car can (or not ) run funny.
you need to go to your local tuner shop and have them send it out to be calibrated. that is the only way.
i haven't done this in a long time (42lb injectors in mine). and my mech did it while he was building the motor.
i know this sucks because you can't drive your car for a few days!!(depending on where you live). your car will run better, you wallet will be heavier and the air will smell cleaner....

thats not really a minor change if you ask me, to much fuel not enough air! you should be able to send if off without going through a mechanic. just call somewhere that does it and ship it to them. i know granitelli does it

Just save yourself some time and money and get a C&L mass air meter with the 24lb tube. Those have different tubes that you can change out and you just need to order one with the right one. It will help you out with flow as well as fix your problem.

No, you can order it with the correct sample tube for your injectors. You can get one that's larger then stock and will flow better, plus if you go with a larger TB and EGR spacer it will help you out even more. Most online places will have them, check out jegs or summit to start with. If you do I'd recomend getting it with the true flow inlet pipe as well. It replaces the tube between the mass air meter and the TB. you can e-mail me if you've got any more questions: DaBlakNite@hotmail.com
