Minor nuisance. Also, I'm no expert on this subject. Just what I read.
In that thread people noticed that this happens with and without a scoop. It was more likely an ECU bug.

However, no one has been able to dyno (besides RPI) any gains for the scoop. Even using large fans. So for now we don't know if it actually does add any performance or is just placebo.
