Angry Engine Light W/Mods?

After i hit break in point with my car, i ordered greddy catback exhaust n k&n intake. When i got them installed 2 days later i got my engine light on. I went back n took out my intake (left my exhaust on) n put my stock intake back on. Engine light went off, and came back on in 3-5 days. I went to the dealership and they had no clue what was wrong. They restarted my battery to turn off my engine light, but it kept on coming back on. When i went back they found out my ecu wasnt fully updated, so they updated it. Engine light came back on and they said it was my fuel cap. Engine light off, engine light back on. This happened 7 times and the last time i went they replaced my whole fuel system and my engine light hasnt been on for the last month n a half.

I want to mod my rx-8 faster but i am worried if i get the hks intake it will cause another problem, (engine light) n i was wondering what u guys think?

I am thinking about doing hks intake, and flywheel, pulleys (not sure what brand to go with, any suggestions?)

Yet another K&N victim. Should have read the board first. Several nightmare posts on the initial product from CEL's to rough idle.

As for the HKS intake the people who have them report no problems on them (FE3P, Xdeedubbx, etc.).

Pullies are a waste of time & money. Take it from somebody who has it. Will roughen your idle & when I dynoed them I got like 1 hp.
