SU TMIC Installed.

here is a pic

Nice pictures, looks great. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine.
Once we get the rear tube figured out, we'll all be happier.

Circle9,

Ya, they only come in one size. The lady over there was very helpful. I'm almost certain its not going to work...sucks though, its hard for me to swap hoses when the damn engine bay is so hot. Hopefully my stage 1 colder plugs come in soon and I'll try swapping the replacement hose on. Sucks if it was longer then we needed, it could easily be trimmed...but its definitely about 0.25 inches shorter then the stock boost hose.

 

[Circle9]

We'll have to wait and see if SU has some better hoses up their sleeves for SMOKEY.

god i hope so....cause my s*** looks silly with one black hose and one blue lol.

also the shroud is screwed on

listen hands down the intercooler and turbo inlet is an amazing upgrade to this car...the car sounds so mean and the intercooler just allows the car to keep pulling and its scaring the hell out of me lol...i just got on it on the way home from the gym tonight and i almost crapped my pants ....1st and second gear im holding at 15 pounds of boost..third and 4th im spiking at 17.5 and holding at 15 ( which i think is still a problem because of my bov) i couldn't hit 5th gear cause i had to slow down or i would of had my license ripped up if there was a cop around...its amazing and changes the power loss common in our cars after 4500 rpm..car keeps pulling up till redline

 

[crossbow]

It definitely changes the feel of the power band. That's for sure. In the stock config, you'd hit this mid 4500-5000 rpm surge and then it would taper off, then dive like a rock after 6k. Now it continues to pull all the way to 6k, actually pulling harder as it climbs the rpms. My 2nd gear is totally useless now after this and the CP-E throttle flash. I need infinite grip tires.

 

[Circle9]

It definitely changes the powerband, makes it smooth and pulls pretty much to redline.

Crossbow, how do you like the CP-E reflash? Are the power gains noticeable?

 

[SMOKEYS36SHOP]

Yea Im Always Worried About Computer Modding Lol

 

[Trader]

Has the intercooler raised your boost levels? I am allready at 18 to 19 psi, and am hesitating to get this because I am worried about overboosting.

 

[SMOKEYS36SHOP]

Idk Im Having Problems With My Boost Levels...im Starting To Hate My Turboxs Hybrid Bov...i Might Put The Stock One Back On And Sell Mine Lol

Here is one that may work. I called them up and he said that it comes in two lengths. The longest they have is 7" long total, looks long on the pic:

They don't have one that is 2.25 to 2.0 but he said you could use this one with a 2.5 to 2.25 insert to make a snug fit.

Here is another place that sells long 45 degree bends: No reducers though. Still would be better than SU's pipes:

Well since the SU tube is 2 inches and I was able to make it fit, then I think we can work with this pipe as well. Are you going to order one and be the guinea pig? I just bought an inlet pipe and blacked out markers - I'm penniless!!

I would but I dont even have an intercooler yet, and probably wont until I get a CDFP upgrade.

 

[Circle9]

Where's Crossbow at?! We need him to try this one out for us too!

 

[crossbow]

Ha how many things I gotta buy? I'm waiting for the guy who said "mark is sending me another hose to try" to get his "revised" hose and see if that fixes the issue.

Crossbow, how do you like the CP-E reflash? Are the power gains noticeable?

With just the CP-E flash and the CP-E nano, I dyno'd 267 whp. (No other mods). It's been so long with the flash, I'd need to drive a stock car to compare. (I was one of the test cars for the nano, flash, etc). I work down the street from them, so I tend to help out whenever I can.

If i remember correctly, the biggest change from the flash was the midrange. Since my car was basically completely stock, I still have flow problems in the upper end. I notice a major difference in 3rd gear now with the SU TMIC there...so now I must finally have removed a flow restriction to let a bit more umf through.

Here's the dyno. (Only mods are CP-E Flash, and CP-E nano...this is even with the stock BOV!)

I'll probably get redyno'd once I get a DP, fuel pump, and probably meth.

 

[Circle9]

I've been contemplating getting the CP-E flash over the AP. It's $230 cheaper, and the gains look well worth it. Plus I'm sort of a CP-E fan, just ordered their inlet pipe (2thumbs)

Ok Just To Let You Guys Know I Haven't Forgotten About The Rear Boost Tube. I Called Su On Tuesday For One Of 2 Reasons.
1- Because I Placed And Order For The Eyelids And
2- Because I Haven't Received Anything From Them Regarding The Boost Tube...and Mark Said That He Didnt Get My Info From Me When I Got Off The Phone...(my Bad Lol) And Had Added The Tube To My Order So According To Fed Ex Tracking It Will Be Here Tomorrow Lol So I Will Keep Everyone Posted To See If This Fixes The Problem...im Keeping My Fingers Crossed ...

 

[Bonafide_Spd3]

Nice, hopefully it does work so I can order a tmic. They aren't on back order are they?

 

[SMOKEYS36SHOP]

not sure ...maybe call them or check there website
