I'm jealous.

P.O.S. breathers, just for looks and blowing up your engine.
I really want this kit... but installing it myself will be fun

JantzenOKC · 08-26-2014, 06:13 PM

I'm very interested in this kit too, I have the funds ready I just need to make sure this is the best option for me. Looks to be a torque monster! I emailed IPS today about it just some questions about it. I plan on doing the install myself and doing a mail order tune I guess(I'd rather have it dyno tuned)

This seems to be the best way to go and seems to be room to grow later with forged rods/10.5pistons and more fuel.. if I could find someone to tune it.

I'd like to maybe take one more trip through Colorado before the transformation but we'll see.. I'm chomping at the bits to go FI!

Good news

So today I was playing around with the car a little, and punched it to an accidental redline in first gear, the paddle shifters response was late, this torqued the car a little too much, the car went whack, the check engine light starting flashing, the service stabilitrack came on, and I immediately pulled over. When I pulled over I shut the car off, popped the hood and checked to see what was up(had no idea what happened). So I turned the car back on and drove, and while shifting, the car seemed fine, but until it started downshifting itself, it almost seemed torqued (almost like your dumping the clutch when you shift in a manual). I brought it back to my house, and let it sit for a little, and about 15 minutes later took it out for a spin and everything seemed alright. I wanted to make sure everything was fine so I took it on the highway (for higher RPM pulls). I did third gear pulls and around 6000 rpms the car starts to make almost a clacking noise which obviously shouldn't be there. Here's a video below of it if anyone has any ideas. Pretty upsetting, not even two months I've had these turbos and there's already issues.

Take the intake off the turbo and check the blades for any excessive play. Also check you BOV and wastegate for anything lose.

was that a misfire? blowout?

skulka222 · 09-20-2014, 10:39 AM

Drove the car again today, and no noises, nothing it seemed normal, I even pushed it a little and everything seemed fine. I popped the hood to check for any noises and this caught my attention. Either the piping is loose or I blew something. I have no clue I'm no mechanic. Any suggestions?

Could be vacuum leak somewhere? Also is that an RX catch can, the drain on the catch can could be open? Check to see if its turned all the way by turning the valve to the left, the drain will be open if the valve is touching the can(turn left to close, turn right to open).

Really couldn't hear anything wierd. What catch can is that? If it's a RX can RUNNN!

I suggest getting under the car and checking all pipes and fittings for anything loose. It's as simple as looking and shaking everything. Also make sure you heat shield under the car isn't loose or have anything trapped on it.
