you have to re program the computer to get over 16psi off the turbo.
get hp tuners and hit up chris in the hp tuner forums hes taking the whole thing apart
also might want to get the gm stage kit getting released uber soon, you get 2 new sensors for higher boost and a new map which raises the limit of 23psi hard fault to higher. how high is unknown so far, the part number is present in the gm parts system but doesnt have a price yet so definatley go with that then tune up from there.

all u get with intake pipe before turbo is slightly quicker response and bad ass sound.

 

alright thanks

 

where did you get that maf pipe at

 

please post some sounds vids!

 

Question for you guys. I made a custom short ram intake about a month ago and so far everything is working great, knock on wood. Anyways, when its cold out and you guys start up, do you get a very loud vaccumm like sound coming from your custom intake? I figure its just it pulling air like normal, and that the stock airbox muffled all of this sound which is why i couldnt hear it before, but figured I would ask. And its pretty loud and annoying and sounds unhealthy haha, I can hear it inside the car pretty clearly.

 

totally normal. its just the cone filter sucking in air like you said

 

can you hear a BOV with the intake i have heard people say u can hear the turbo spool up and everything

 

OH YES! IT's a beautiful sound, apart from startup as I said. But we have BPV's correct? So it doesnt release the air like a BOV, but it sounds just like it does. But when your in boost it sounds amazing, you can def. hear the turbo spooling now! Mines just temporary until a manufacturer comes out with one, but it gets the job done.

 

any CEL's with install?

 

None at all.I would reccomend using the spectre kit, as to most of teh people who used that havent had any problems, KNOCK ON WOOD. I would post a pic up, but I have no idea how to.

 

you use IMG tags like [IMG]where the picture is located url...[/IMG]

just like that.

 

okay i'll try and get one up soon if you want to see it.

 

yea...im actually trying to do mine right now and i dont know if i have everything or not but im gonna take a look and if not, to the autozone i go, i hope i have it all tho

 

I'll post it when I get back, around noonish. Yeah autozone didnt have the spectre kit, so I just order it through spectre, didnt have to pay tax and got it in a day. I have a vid of it to, but when I try to put it on youtube, it stalls at like 1%(and its only like 12mb too), so i have no idea whats going on there.

 

can you email the vid? and the pics?

 

 

so i installed my CAI from spectre,OMG it sounds sweet, and im not sure but i think so my boost gauge hit 15psi but ill see what happens after my tune tomorrow. omg i cant wait to hit the track.

 

Let me know how the tune goes. Im thinking about going that route, but have no idea where to start. Are you having someone tune for you? How much is it going to run if you dont mind me asking?

 

yea theres a cobalt meet here in IL tomorrow and a guy has a tuner and hes charging 100 bucks for a tune. so since the tc's have huge gains from it, should be well worth it.

 

Hopeuflly this works, its a quick vid of my intake

 

jsut installed mine today and i love it. sounds so nice.

 

hi i just put 9405 Air sensor mounnt an i dont no if it is running better or not i think to me that it has more boost at lower rpm im new to the turbos so i have no idea shood i by more parts

sorry has more boost with stock box at lower rpm

 

I'm about to do the same from the guy in OH, except I'm putting on a KN filter. I'll make sure I put the cuplers on the MAF for security purposes. Just waiting on the MAF kit for tomorrow at Autozone.

 

boy I wish I didnt miss this post to warn people.... dont buy spectre... its junk. At least there filters are terrible. The filter will last for a year maybe and then rust completely over.
