So I started to take out my air filter box today and in the process I discovered the small pre filter (looks like a lint screen for a dryer)in the intake tube. It was a mess with all sorts of dust and leaves. After a through clean the car ran much faster. I could not believe it!
Has anyone else found this to help with performance.
It also seemed to run cooler.

Accessed by dismantling the intake manifold.
Definitely worth cleaning out every now & then (every oil change, for example).
