Purchased a 2010 ss and it came with full catless exhaust and a zzp tune. i will soon be adding a forge bpv, k&n cai and i was wondering if adding a upper charge pipe would give much gains with my mods that i listed or would it be worth saving up and getting the whole intercooler kit?

 

Charge pipes and intercooler make a little difference but is more of a reliability mod and the charge pipe will flow better than the pancake stock one. I'm in the process of saving for upper charge pipe and intercooler. Waiting for the Zzp Black Friday sales though!

 

so u figure if i just add the zzp upper charge pipe for now it will be good enough? cause i can always buy the intercooler and lower later on right?

 

is something like this worth the money? seems a little cheap to me

Dont waste your money on that trash. Charge pipes are more for putting your mind at ease. The stock ones will pop off under high boost and the stock ic is prone to cracking at the endtanks. Save for zzp

 

@allpro666, you still need tuning so you can feel some difference. by it self is just better looks and materials/quality.

 

I do have a zzp tune and running 23psi. Just wanted to upgrade but with all the other mods I wanna do first I don't think I can get a full intercooler kit yet

 

Wait for black friday I got my intercooler kit from zzp for 400

 

Might have to consider that

 

It's not that far away. original price is 800+ so they give great deals

 

Wow that much hey!? I don't mind waiting till then, I'm actually thinking about buying a body kit over the winter as well so may as well do it all at once. Just gonna buy the cai and bpv for now

 

I would personally stay with the SS bumpers but that's me. Already delt with body kits and won't go thru it again

 

Ya figure? Didn't like them?

 

Nope horrible fit, brake easily, look funky if you think about it. The SS bumpers make the car look clean

 

Agreed. I've only ever heard bad things about body kits and cracking and what not. You could always buy like a carbon fiber lip for the front number and it looks dope. And tjin CF trunk is sweet too.

 

Thx guys that's something to consider

 

Front bumper* sorry mang

 

Hey I was just about to order a forged bpv and I thought there was only one but I can get a recirculating one or a atmospheric. Which one would be better?

 

You want the bpv the bov need the maf moved so a lower zzp charge pipe and tune.

Also op when adding a cai you'll need to update ur tune

 

You need the recirculating bpv

 

They both say bpv not bov
Also from what I know is that I don't have to retune just from a cai

 

I ll show u what I mean
SS Turbocharged

 

You have to tune the maf that is located in the cai

 

Forge Motorsports 2.0T Recirculating Bypass Valve

 

How do u tune a maf? I thought it just installs on the new intake
