hey 'balters...
since the release of the lnf stage kit, has anyone come across any problems? meaning, fitment issues (sensor hardware), CEL issues, driveability issues, etc....i really want to get this, but i have heard here and there some people were disappointed. i tried a search a few times and didn't find anthing. if there is a thread somewhere, please direct me there please!!

thanks...

 

I had the dealership install mine. I haven't had any real problems. I get a bit less fuel mileage, and I boost much easier now. I have a hard time keeping it in the vac when accelerating. Other than that, I haven't had any problems.

 

0 issues. BUY NOW

 

If you have access to someone with HPT you can save a ton of Money by buying Performance Autowerks stage sensors and having your PCM flashed by someone

If you are worried about Warranty you could buy the sensors from Crate Engine Depot and get it flashed at the dealer

 

thanks!! you sound like a late night sales add!!! "buy now"...if only it was $19.95 like everything else they sell on late night!!!

thanks d-mac...this is something to consider!!!

 

I've had no problems whatsoever, but I've only had it for a week. I've heard of a few people popping off stock charge piping from the extra boost but that's only because of the poor clamps and it's happened totally stock.

 

Give us a call, we can hook you up.

 

I have had mine on for about two months and no problems whatsoever.I have the k & n drop in and just installed the Hahn S.S. CATTED D/Pipe which made a big difference.Haven't had any issues at all.

 

install your own **** and then have the dealer flash if that's the route you choose to take

 

no issues, buy parts from Crate Engine Depot, 500$ shipped, go to dealership and get it installed. 190$ install cost.

Had it on for over 1k miles, no issues. DO NOT install yourself UNLESS you're an expert at kripping wires, soddering them together and aren't worried about screwing up the wiring (I believe replacement part if you screw up is 130$) I'm by no means an expert mechanic or an engineer, but in my basic understanding this is what can happen.

Great buy and keeps full warranty intact

 

No, no, and no. 3k miles in and I've had relations with my car at least 42 times. Make sure the GM tech isn't a 'tard and properly crimps (kripping?) and insulates the wires. You don't want the harness for the lower TMAP rubbing on the AC line.

I had a high RPM missfire for a while and though it was plugs. I put the NGK 3787's in (one step colder) thinking that was the issue. Turns out the simpleton GM tech left the lower TMAP bolt loose causing a boost leak. Idiot. I tightened it down and have had no issues since then.

 

had mine for 5k now, no issues at all except a weird thing causing my bpv to get stuck open, but I'm not really sure if that has anything to do with the GMS1, after you get it buy yourself a catless downpipe.

 

Get it! It's great!

 

I have had it on since I bought the car and have had 0 issues.

 

Got mine in september, drove it all winter and no problems .. although the temptation of going fast makes the police stopping you a bigger issue ;p

I have also killed a few cars .. I'm so bad

 

CED has the replacement 3 bar sensors for $16. Here http://www.crateenginedepot.com/stor...P2533C221.aspx

Connectors can be found here. They are not preassembled though so you have to wire them and put them together. http://www.bmotorsports.com/shop/pro...oducts_id/1625

So for ~$80 total you can have a working stage kit you just need to have or know someone with HP Tuners who can write the stage 1 OS into your car.

 

No fitment issues on stock hardware. The place people have issues is aftermarket IC's and the bottom sensor rubbing on the AC line. OR if it is installed wrong you will get a CEL and that can be fixed.

No worries, I've ran mine for a few months now and love it, just got a downpipe too

 

I don't know how much your car appreciates you having relations with it.

 

^^ i was thinking the same thing!!

thanks guys...this all helps a lot!! so far it runs great...i want to keep it that way!! the ss goes on many a trip up nort'!! getting there a weeee bit faster would be nice!

 

^^ What he said lol.

 

Just wanted to put all these GMS1 posts at the top to see the ridiculousness.

 

what wires were crimpt, where are they located i have had mutliple problems with my GMS1 kit and dealership is no help

 

Now is this just GMS1 parameters or actually a GMS1 tune that can pass at the dealership

 

just got my car back from the dealership today to try and fix a problem i am having i got an 09 ss tc with the gms1 on it when i first got the kit i would boost 17-18 pounds and today i brought it into the dealership cause my boost has dropped down to 12 pounds i also have the k&n intake on my car so anyways the dealership told me i threw a code on my maf sensor and that they cleaned it and that everything is fine so i took my car out for a drive and im still only boosting 12 pounds nothing more they also told me i have no boost leaks so now i dont know where to start cause when the gms1 was first installed it was a huge gain boost shot up no problem and seems that over the last few months its slowly been going down i have however also noticed that when im driving around and off the throttle the vacumm is way down like 60 70 when that used to be about 20 on the gauge so im not sure if that has something to do with it or not any help would be great

 

It is possible that the guage is the problem and the car itself is fine.
