get the ZZP if you want power and want it to last!

If you want a BOV then get the Dejon.


Sone People on here like the Injens

Look at Treadstone too. There's comes in a kit with an intercooler for $740. I just picked it up and the quality is top notch.

You can order the charge piping separate from the kit too if you email them.

Gains are all pretty much the same no matter who you choose. It's not a lot, mostly you get the added strength of metal pipes over plastic.

no it's wrinkle black powdercoated aluminum. Basically the same as ZZP. ZZP is who I will be going with personally.

hahn ic is way over priced id go with the zzp or if u need a lil more ground clearence the mpx ic, both work just as good as the hahn and are way cheaper (bang for buck)

and dejon is simple, easiest way to install bov, different color option avaliable, and good quality

For the treadstone kit, I would want the TR8 kit? And is the bov that you could buy, is it alright for your car? Or get the block off plate?.. thanks.

bov's are fine for your car... you can "T" off you vacc line to run it without a block off plate, but to correctly run a bov you need a block off plate and maf relocate on the cold side charge pipe...

You can get a pipe from ZZP that is ready for a bov as well. I would also go with ZZP's intercooler, the ground clearance shouldn't be an issue, if your someone that likes to drive around destroying your front bumper on parking blocks you should have a truck. I know for a fact that the front facia will hit 7 out of 10 curbs or parking blocks before you hit the intercooler, it barely hangs down.

BYT has tuned a few cars with a bov and no maf relocate. It can be done.

I love my injen pipes, I kinda wish I would have gotten a BOV and flange before I paid an ass ton for powder coating.
