    Back on the forums and Considering a 3!

    Hey guys, I'm back on the forums but you probably don't know me and that's because I came from the MSP forum. But I sold my MSP about a year ago because of the problems is constantly gave me, though, some of it was driver error (hand). Anyways I'm going N/A (actually I've already been N/A on my...

    Header wrap in intake piping

    Do you think this will insulate the air inside the piping and keep it cooler? Or as header wrap is, does it keep the heat from your engine bay?

    Why car not boosting?

    It drives like its N/a. I mean, its spools a little bit but not like its suppose to and I dont hear the BPV flutter anymore. Also, when the car is running, i can hear, very lightly, what sounds like air leaking. I pinch the vacuum line and the sound stops. Am i just hearing the air in the lines...

    How bad is it to run the car with a bad turbo?

    For about a year now, my turbo has been leaking oil from the oil feed line (i think thats it, its the line that goes from the oil pan to the turbo), and now, it doesn't seem to boost. I dont have a boost gauge but i can tell its not boosting because I dont hear my bypass valve flutter anymore...

    What bov is loud at stock boost?

    I have the forge msp01 and it hardly makes a sound. Are the greddy bov adjustable? From what i understand, if you loosten the spring or something it'll open more under lower psi. I dont know if this is true but i also heard that a bov will make a car run more rich.

    How good are the splitsecond A/fc? Thinking about getting one.

    A few questions and topics of concern: 1.) I just wanna lean out the car a little bit but not to much cuz i heard you can get engine knock and ping and that stuff. Maybe someone can shed light on this. Has it happened to anyone (yet)? 2.) I have a 2.5" catless midpipe, highflow filter on my...

    So If i reset the ecu with my mods...

    ...which is just an SRI, catless midpipe, and bov, and i dont have any piggyback controllers, the ecu will reporgram itself automatically to run correctly (or as properly as it can) to those mods as I go through my car cycle correct? How acurate would it be if im correct?

    Welding in an 02 bung on custom exhaust.

    So... this is what i've gathered from the searches. The MSP's have two 02 sensors, one on the j-pipe and one between the two cats. If u were to make a custom cat-less j-pipe back exhaust. I would, a) plug the 1st 02 sensor on the j-pipe where it originally was, and, b) weld in an 02 bung in the...

    How loud will this be?

    I would like a nice exhaust note but not sound crazy loud or ricey. This might get a little confusing so ill try to explain the best i can: First, I'm keeping the OE S-pipe, J-pipe and mid-pipe. Second, Im going to cut the piping after the first bend, right after the resonator (this bend...
