You'll regret that decision.

 

320whp 380wtq coming soon...lol

 

Remember this when you let off of a 2nd gear wide open pull to go to 3rd and you hear a "POPshssshsssssssssshhhhh!!"

 

then i'll spray it with some flex seal..2 cans for 19.99....lol, jk

 

I am getting ready for a tune as well. I have been following this thread since it started. There is a lot of talk about the hot side charge pipe. Why not the cold side? Are there any benefits to the cold side? Would the car be a lot more reliable with hot, cold and IC? I know ZZP makes a whole cooling kit and I think Turbo XS as well. Any input?

 

people mostly talk about the hot-side only because its the main one to fail, then the plastics on the intercooler. nothing has ever happened to the coldside, but might as well buy the whole kit if you plan on getting it all...

 

yea when you get tuned at 23psi or so like i am, it can blow your stock plastic ic piping off or i have even heard of the stock ic piping exploding haha. its just much safer to get aftermarket hot side pipes before the tune to eliminate that problem as long as you be sure that it comes with good couplers and clamps. the dejon couplers and clamps suck. thats what i bought. the pipes are good but i had to buy different couplers and clamps and now im good to go.

 

ditch the spring...

 

thanks guys

 

The coldside is plenty tough. No need to replace it. It does have a strange dent in it right before the TB, but I guess that was designed in for a reason.

 

buying the intake, charge-pipe and plugs this week, then tune from TERMINATOR2 next week...yay

 

Zzp intake tube and k&n filter, and zzp charge-pipe bought today!!!
Goodbye $342...lol

 

Well, now that i have been tuned, and seen what was needed to be reliable and more powerful, i wish i could have done it all over again.

1. Downpipe
2. Muffler delete with a dump so my rear bumper doesnt get nasty
3. Injen hotside pipe with upgraded mpx couplers
4. Intercooler
5. Dejon or k&n intake
6. Ky stage 3 or 4 clutch
7. Forge bpv
then a 24psi tune...now i am having to go back and get a clutch, intercooler, and forge bpv because the power was too much even with a conservative tune

 

Sorry to bring that back from the dead but why do you wish you would've got the Injen charge pipe instead of the ZZP you have?

Also the intake tube with drop in K&N?

 

Well, zzp has good quality products, but the design of the injen is much better in my opinion, as long as you get the upgraded couplers too, plus the zzp tube/filter is a factory looking and sound product that adds half the power of a real intake system..so, i cant hear the turbo like you would with a real intake system...plus, i was scared the cattless downpipe would be really loud, so i got a catted turbo-xs, which is a very nice piece btw, but wish now i would have went catless because it isnt loud at all, even with a muffler delete which is what i have as well.

 

with an aggressive tune, the clutch should have been in before because i havent been able to enjoy my car since i was tuned because all it does is slip
