got my new ETS TMiC

[RuZec]

well I finally got it! Condition was good for it being used. I love the way my car feels so far! Only problem I had was that when I was screwing in one of the bolts for the cold pipe it snapped the head off! Now im wondering what do I do? Its my fault though I think because I kinda realized that one hole seemed kinda stripped. I will get pics up ASAP!

You can try an easyout on that bolt, or drill through the center or the broken bolt carefully with a slightly smaller bit and the excess material should colapse out, even if it doesn't it should'nt be too hard to use a tap and fix the threads.
pm me if you need any more help or if my tip doesn't makes sense.

by the way you got that thing for a steal!!!!!!!1

^ thanks for the advice!

Yeah, I did! Before my Forge BPV wasn't really loud with my current mods( PG TIP PG SRI. race pipe with 3 inch piping back from that) But now that I have the ETS its pretty loud I must say! I cant wait till I get on the highway with this!

Yeesh... I hate dealing with "decapitated" bolts.

You could try this:

By the way... I would get that dash-hawk now and start to closely moniter boost/fuel trims/AFRs and datalog and whatnot. Your getting to that threshold where if you continue modding more you will need a safe tune to better protect the engine. And anything farther than that is probably going to require an upgrade of your fuel pump. Just letting you know.

 

[RuZec]

thank you^ Yes, either this weeke or next paycheck im going to buy a Dashhawk and fuel pump internals

 

[Saskatchewan17]

Well I'm not saying you need fp internals quite yet... just with a couple more mods (like a downpipe and tune).

Actually, TMIC are also known to cause fuel cut because of the extra 1 to 2psi of boost raise and extra power. OP do a WOT pull on 5th gear to see if you get fuel cut.

Get an AP and eliminate cut

i hate you ruzec!! i was like 20 min shy of getting that tmic
glad u like it tho

 

[Mistersix]

i have the tmic. boost gauge says 17 lbs as opposed to just over 15 stock. only time i had what felt fuel cut was when it was freezing cold outside. prolly 5-15 degrees.

though i dont think that had anything to do with the tmic.

 

[RuZec]

hmm I hope I dont have problems with my car here in Minot North Dakota! ?

 

[coyfish]

No fuel cut here.

 

[PaPaSpeed]

We need pictures. Y'all got cameras in ND?

 

[hugador]

Pics would be nice. Hey TMIC owners how your fuel trims look like. Just want to know if there are any significant changes.

 

[RuZec]

yeah Ill post some pics up when I get a chance

 

[RuZec]

Do I need to buy a cobb ap like asap or anything to tune and monitor my engine? or should I be fine for now. Im just saving for it right now so yea

I think you are fine for now, but I'm sure you would have alot of fun with the AP. It's always nice to get a little custom tune.
Now, put up those pictures of that new TMIC. lol

 

[RADAR THIS]

+1 to that...thank god...lol

No fuel cut here.

same s*** happened with one of my cold pipe bolts when i installed my TMIC. It was a b**** to fix. Had to duck tape my BPV to get it to my garage. DONT run the bpv hose under the cold pipe when reconnecting the cold pipe with the boost tube... : ) Good, easy mod. Accessport is next.
