YEa, check the map sensor hose. I bet that popped off.
You can use a small K&N filter on the hose that was hooked up to the stock elbow.

It's neither, the MAP sensor is a little rectangular black box, and it is mounted on the driver side firewall. There is a 4 mm vacuum hose attached to the bottom of it.
When you installed the Greddy elbow, did you plug the hose that went to the stock elbow??

Have you taken your airpump off or installed a performance intake?? Did you do anything else when you installed the intercooler? As long as that hose that went on to the back of the elbow is plugged and your map sensor hose didn't pop off, then you shouldn't have any problems. Do you have any color smoke coming out of the tail pipe?
