U sure 19.5psi is safe with that little turbo Auto?

U sure 19.5psi is safe with that little turbo Auto?

There are people running 20-22 PSI...

Since the turbo is small, it doesn't hold 19.5 PSI for more than 1-2 seconds...

As long as you have an upgraded TMIC or FMIC, you'll be fine.

Mods in Sig.

27000ish miles. Drive almost 90miles a day. No issues to speak of.

 

[dandydaniel]

damn. great thread. I've been holding back on the dp cause my car only has 1600 miles on it and I don't want no smokey smokes. but from what I've read, a DP shouldn't cause smoking turbos, it just opens your eyes to the fact that you have a blown seal. anyone know about the dynos of the corksport dp/rp combo vs cp-e's catless dp?

 

[ChrisK]

cel popped up once after about 200 miles, cleared it with the dashhawk, hasn't been back since.

It won't be hardly any difference. Either will give you a good gain. I love my CS DP and RP

34,000-ish miles. No smoke, no hiccups, and a perfectly stock feeling car until I press the skinny pedal.

Nubi question If you have a CP-E DP catted is there a need for the test pipe, or will it be replaced by the dp?
