do u have a maf relocate with that bov? if not, get one with a zzp lower down pipe. and get rid of that trifecta tune and get an hptune from a good tuner. save up for hptuners, its worth it. how do I know u have a trifecta tune? cause they are the only ones who make a tune that can run a bov without a maf relocate, but their tunes suck

Pretty sure he's got a HP tune from a less than reputable tuner.

get a Downpipe as you next mod. Like $150-300 depending on who you buy it from. They all do the same thing. Get one with either the high flow cat or no cat. I prefer a cat, I really believe the performance difference is negligible.

Pretty much after your next mods are geared toward fueling and e47 if you want to be about that life. Otherwise get a bigger turbo.

I heard some Chris guy. Came through Winnipeg tuned some guys. One had a bigger turbo, put an aggressive tune on it and blew the trans almost right away.

He's popular on the local Facebook groups.

Chris Zelinsky? Out of Edmonton?

He is supposed to be pretty reputable for good tunes.

Chris Z isn't very great at all. He just has a lot of nut huggers.

He is one of the admins on SS gang page as are Mongorat and dcrep. He pales in comparison on that page to the amount of those devoted to James.

Sorry for the confusion here. I have a maf relocate, original maf block off plate and tread stone turbo block off plate. Guess I should have included that in the OP

Yeah my tuner owned a cobalt ss and ran 500hp and doesn't recommend the Powell separator. Too expensive. He knows a reputable business that designs these for about $100 cheaper

It's HP tuned from an LNF platform professional. I know you don't believe me but I already explained to you how I was tuned
