Hi. I just have had today my new Sport Airbox installed.
I have noticed immediately that my fuel consumption has rised very much.
Should my MB Garage remap the eeprom for better fuel consumption?

It is rised from 10 Liters/100Km (2.64 US Gallons/62 Miles) to 14 Liters/100Km (3.7 US Gallons/62 Miles)

I saw the Sport Airbox have holes in the back of the air intake... will the air be less in the engine at low RPM with this holes in the back air intake?

This increased fuel consumption upset me quite a bit.

Can anyone please help me to understand if that is normal and how to limit the fuel consumption?

Thank You for you help.
Regards
Thank You
