There is plenty of logical backing that supports every positive thing being said about this part.

installed mine and my new cp-e nano at the same time and everything sounds amazing! install went so easy and quickly! only thing is that there is kind of a whistle sound that i didnt have before. checked all my hoses and clamps and couplers and everything is tight! no its not that i can hear the turbo spooling now either! might just be me but im not sure.

 

[Captain KRM P5]

thanks for all the kind remarks guys

I got mine over the weekend, very excited... after I took old pipe off, right before I installed the new pipe... I looked inside and noticed that it had all kinds of gunk and dirt inside the pipe. It even has a 1 to 1.5 inch long melted piece of metal hanging inside that pipe, probably from the weld of the recir tube. I tried to break it off by pushing it with a screw driver (the only thing that can reach it) but it didn't budge so I left it there and cleaned everything the best that I can and installed it. That hanging piece of metal probably won't come off but it's not comforting knowing that it's there... it probably won't affect the airflow much but it's still not very comforting... so I was a little disappointed in that department.

As far as the performance goes, I didn't have too much time to test it yet but first impression... It's louder, it's boost quicker and harder and shift smoother. I think I heard my bpv opening while under high boost too so I think I need to adjust it to make it stiffer. More testing still needed.

Still not very comforting knowing that there's a piece of metal hanging in my inlet pipe very close to the turbo...

Didn't have a chance to take pics? I'm sure Ken would want to see it and would probably offer you a new piece if it's defective.

 

[I`m Batman]

No, sorry... I didn't take any pix... I should have... but it's kind of too late now... it sure was a lot of work to put in a little pipe.

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Damn no pics of that. Well i'll have to look at mine before I install it.

 

[Hank3]

Damn no pics of that. Well i'll have to look at mine before I install it.

Ditto

Mine has the same problems. I already cleaned out all of the dirt/gunk whatever it was as best I could with water. Now I still have a piece of metal or weld dangling inside where the recirc pipe weld is.

 

[Hank3]

Hmmm...that's two of them. Any idea if this was the first batch Ken? I'm still waiting for Randy to ship mine once he gets the shipment from you. Hopefully it won't have this gunk and extra metal.

 

[Mid_Life_Crisis]

Here`s hoping that the ones that are anodized get thoroughly cleaned and inspected extra close as part of the process. After waiting this long, I would hate to have to send it back when it finally arrives. (long wait is not Ken`s fault).

 

[Captain KRM P5]

i'm going to go through what i have left and clean out any of them if its needed

 

[Hank3]

Ken - Any ETA on when the batch of black PC TIPs and intake pipes will be shipped to Randy?
