Was coming back from the car wash tonight and my buddy i had with me want to see how car ran with the trifecta tune on so i turned the tune on and started to lay into it in 2nd and when i hit about 20 psi the car started fallen on its face like it was losing boost spiitting ad sputtering so i let off got into again in 3rd bout 60 and did same thing. Came home check all the hose's and t-clamps and everything seem tight. Took it back out and it did it again the first run down the road, on the way back it seemed fine and now seems to be fine..........Just wondering what it could of been causing it.

 

cold engine + too much boost = fail

 

wet air filter?

 

Thats what i was thinking that the filter got wet i got the injen intake on it and i dont have the the hydro shield for it yet.

 

This might be the culprit. Wet filter and WOT is a NO NO!!

 

Why is trifecta tune the subject of this thread? Lol.
Doesn't sound like a tune has anything to do with what happened.

 

Because i had the tune on when this happened lol so i thought this had something to do with the tune but then realized it was probably just a wet filter

 

Because all Trifecta tunes are junk and cause problems. You didn't know?

 

Really??? 32K miles on my car, 28K tuned with Trifecta and not a single problem has occurred.

 

Clearly, noting sarcasm is not your strong suit, is it?

 

Cause the tune is always the culprit when there is a problem to your average end user. You should know this by now. It doesn't matter if the oil is 26k miles old, 2 spark plugs are missing, or if someone cut up a body and put it into the oil fill.
95% of people don't think with a "technical" or "troubleshooter" mindset off the bat.

 

I can see spelling isn't your strong suit

 

I can see that you also can't use a dictionary.

iFail!!!

 

but you're good enough to own up to it. +1 for you in my book, dude.

 

Cool. You never see anyone owning up to mistakes on the interwebz.

 

lmao

 

If you were at the car wash, they are correct on the WET AIR FILTER !

I was at the car wash with my front bumper off and I was really amazed to the amount
of water that falls on the air filter while washing the car.
It just pours from that cutout above the filter.
So I wouldn't be boosting after a car wash until filter has a chance to dry out a bit.

 

Haha! But yea dude, Sox-fan was right, I was being sarcastic. Like Slowline said, so many people around here just jump straight to the tune being the cause of their problems no matter the particulars of the issue. Just makes me want to sometimes.

 

y not plug that little area that leaks with something?... no more wet filter

 

what if the carwash has an underside blaster?? the one i used a few days ago to rise out the mud had one.

 

Hydro shield? Its mandatory down here

 

ha the carwash i go to in the winter has an underbody spray and it doesnt get in cai wet but i have a sc ss. somehow theyre different i guess. but good point. so thats kinda scary. everytime u get the car washed u cant drive the car hard? ha until the filter dries. i guess this y like 75% of TC/SS cobalt owners put the k&n sri

 

thats why i went that route! on my Mazdaspeed 3 i had a full cai and every time i went through the car wash my filer got wet. the MS3 had an under-engine protector but i broke it out of frustration when i would do oil changes on it.

 

this i had one on my kandn when i had the s/c setup and never had any issue, and i know water got down there...
