yeah i def have alot more power but i would like what i paid for and it kinda bothers me my car wont do it

 

i guess vince is at lunch since he hasn't responded yet

 

Yea, not to bash... But it seemed like he was at lunch for about a week when I was tying to get it all figured out

 

Id make sure to check for any boost leaks like BYT suggested. Lots of times the culprit is a tiny hole in the cold side cp that has been made by a screw or bolt that rubs down there near the IC. Just a suggestion.

 

hmm imma go check real quick

 

my car does this with stock tune, i wanna see the fix to this, hopefully itll help me out to...

warm i hit 15 psi cold 11-12 psi

 

i looked from top down and from underneath. from what i could tell i didn't see anythin but i need to get a flashlight and do it

 

how often does this happen? and whats the easiest way to see where your mentioning

 

It happens right at the bend of the cold side CP theres a bolt or screw that protrudes and rubs against the silicone. You will have to pull the plastic cover down and a way a bit to get a good look. And as I said its usually really small. You may want to look for it with the car on and put some soap and water on it to see if it bubbles. Like I said, its just a suggestion. Just remember thats the most common spot. If you do have a leak it could be anywhere in the boost system. Good luck!

 

ugghhhh im gonna just change all my charge pipes after christmas then. im not gonna play cat and mouse until then. so now the question is who has the cheapest but decent lower charge piping and who has the cheapest but good upper charge piping

 

ZZP has the cheapest hot side CP and best quality out there IMO

There cold side CP is very good aswell and is also on the cheap side as of the price not quality

 

thanks

 

so then i should order the pipe with the pad? since im keeping my maf where it is

 

oh i forgot you didn't get new piping

 

nope all stock

 

Correct. You want to select 'without BOV flange' for the hot side CP. The lower one you would select the same 'without MAF pad'. Quality products from them man.

Its a nice upgrade dude, but Id probably try to diagnose the prob before changing things around. If it is a boost leak then great, buy the CP or couplers to fix the issue but try to figure out if thats REALLY the cause. Keep troubleshooting with Vince man.

 

ok yeah that works for me

 

could the spring in my BPV have something to do with it?

 

vince said my wastegate was not maxed but that my ecm was deciding to limit the boost and he's looking into it

 

the vacuum line running to the lower CP sometimes is over that AC line down there instead of behind it, this will make the fan clip it at times. Ive seen 2 cars with this now, neither person had messed with their CP's before.

The top stock CP is known to crack, check that out. And the stock IC end tanks like to explode lol.... Wanted Matt's car would still hit the peak boost but wouldn't hold correctly and it had KR with barely over stock timing. Then the MAF tuning kept changing obviously so we knew something was leaking. Sure enough, split the endtank into pieces! Big chunk missing even lol.

 

wow just gave me a whole list to check

 

There you go lol Start diagnosing buddy Good luck!

 

well i got to this late as hell... if you didnt live so far id take a look at it lol

 

we marylanders should all meet up and "act" like we are looking at his car

 

Hey Mike, i ordered my intake last nite and got a tracking # today! trying to decide on cp and downpipe
