Pics will be up soon. DAMN YOU RAIN

You should wrap your pipes and the IC will work much better.

Are you referring to wrapping stock pipes as well, or does this theory only really apply to hardpipes? Interested in pics of the smic too, since it sounds like the results were awesome...

you can wrap both. Man i noticed with my hardpipes sometimes they're cool to the touch after a long drive, and sometimes they'll burn you. Even the CAI will get hot sometimes, but others its not. I drive the same most the time. I'm going to wrap mine and save for this IC.

I still cant figure out why "stock boost" on MSPs ranges from 4-8psi(uhm)

Because we have hand built cars... the variation is much greater than machine built cars.

how come no one ever wants to throw parts my way?? I'm still running the friggin stock intake for goodness sake....I hate being slow...

lol

Why would the boost pressure go up? I know it flows better but the wastegate should be releasing pressure at the same PSI. The turbo should be working less to get the same PSI.

 

[jersey_emt]

I've been thinking the same thing. I honestly don't know why pressure was increased, I'm just reporting my findings. It was 8psi before, now it's like 8.7-8.9psi (just below the 9psi park on the gauge).

The wastegate boost/vac line is not kinked.

 

[Yay-Boost]

Does it hold 9 psi or is it spiking to that? Almost 9 psi without a boost control you won the MSP lotto. Are you worried about fuel cut during the winter. I would think it is going to be a PIA especially if you can't turn it down. Nothing a Joep FCD woulnd't fix though.

 

[jersey_emt]

It holds just below 9psi. No spiking! At redline it's down to about 8.2-8.4

 

[FSDET]

im sure itll hold 9 with a midpipe

 

[jersey_emt]

I'm actually hoping for 10 with the 2.5" turboback i plan on getting in the spring.

 

[jeffmsp]

with no boost controller or water injection I am running 8 psi with all my mods, 9 with no exhaust is good times (drive) (2thumbs)

 

[jersey_emt]

My car held 8psi, falling to between 7 and 7.5 at redline, when 100% stock

 

[CustomMSP]

My car held 8psi, falling to between 7 and 7.5 at redline, when 100% stock

I was holding 6psi stock.

So how about those pics? It's beautiful outside

man u been saying pics are coming... where are they...
j/k

would love to see the pics

 

[low_psi]

boost pressure increased because the stock system eats some pressure. its not being created, just freed up. now the intake manifold is seeing almost the same air pressure the turbo outlet releases.

 

[warrier04]

now where'd those pics go ... (uhm)

 

[CustomMSP]

Jersey's been quite lately...hope everything is alright?

 

[PaulMP3]

i wanna see some pics.
