I think the engineer in you knows the answer to this question but the car guy in you is still wrestling with the fact you bought something that didn't work.
To me, it's pretty straight forward. Any performance part that is "no tune" required isn't going to be worth the money because obviously it doesn't change from near factory settings/specs. Those no tune required CAI's are more for asthetics rather than performance.
Personally, I've chosen to stay with the stock box until I go boosted since the kit will come with a CAI. No sense in spending the money two or three times.
I wish it were cooler so we could race to see if that CAI helped you at all versus my stock box.
