ECU u tit! Disconnect the negative, ahem, sorry positive side of the battery and leave it overnight. then reconnect in the morning, car should splutter and almost stall, then drive it as u normally do.

if you do any engine mods; induction kit, new exhaust system, etc. Do the method explained to reset the ECU so it performs best.

Drilled air box wont make that much difference but its still worth doing.
Read the tutorial I wrote in the tutorial section and then you will understand.

Why does it matter which side of the battery is disconnected?

in response to your question - park the car up for the night, and pull off the negative terminal leads. be careful not to short circuit the terminals.
in the morning, pop the leads back on, start the car and leave it to idle for ~30 seconds then drive
