Hello, I have had the HKS SSQV in recirc for almost 3 weeks and I have noticed a HUGE drop in MPG. My onboard dash meter said I was getting about 24-25 mpg avg. But I reset it when I installed the HKS and I DID install it recirc mode. and I have lost what seems to be 5 mpg. When I fill up...

Im thinking of going all cobb like the cobb turbo inlet and then a cobb SRI dont know what the power difference is but eventually I am going to get a cobb AP for easy tuning. what do you think?

awesome, i will do this as soon as it stops raining, been raining forever........ oh and on other thing. When I did the reinstall to make the bov recirculating I unclamped the pipe that has the air sensor in it and I have heard about this air straightener that people said did not come with the...

so when you say unbolt the back of the BOV are you talking about the allen screws on the back, and you can take the back part off and rotate it? cause I went to a friends house and I actually read the instructions from CP-E and it said to flip the recirculation tube so that the end that was on...

So is this something I should worry about? Should I go to the dealership and ask them to take a look at that pin thing? Sorry if this is a dumb question but can someone explain the valve stuffs about this car and why that sound is normal or not normal.....please try not to be to technical cause...

no i did not, and i think I am near the time to do the oil change too. My friend told me that it could be the oil too, but wanted to see what you guys thought.

can you guys listen to this and tell me if this ticking noise is the valve or fuel injector issue that I have heard of? let me know please and thanks in advance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZytYnw_F_E

I bought the rims a tires combo from WheelDude and I went with the cheap General Exclaim UHP's they are good tires have not tested any other ones but plan to get better ones once its time. With just a MS CAI I was only doing a 14.6 1/4 mile. I thought the car did better stock but maybe I just...

yep I can remember my uncle asking me if I knew the difference between a car that blew white or black smoke out the exhaust, and he said that white is oil and black is gas. It stuck with me ever since. but yea it was fun having the new bov and seeing people do the what the **** was that turn...

Well it seems I have been a member for a little while but never posted any pics of my car. Well here is a couple of pics that my friend took when I was at 75/80 dragway in Maryland. This is not how it was when I bought the car but I have only done cosmetic work. what do you guys think? looks...
