That's not right... is it crappy metal or something corroding it?
wtf? is the the bpv itself or the IC flange??
@pwdunmore @Thrizzl3 @Fobio
Phil, it's the IC bpv flange... ffs. I contacted Ultimate racing today and the rep said they "missed" a step during manufacturing....lol which is the anti-rust coating. They will send me a new one in a few days. I was having issue at mid rev range, say 3rd or 4th gear. When I start to give throttle at 3500rpm, the car would bog once then proceed with no problem til redline. No knock, FP are holding up good, and only happens randomly. The surface isn't flat on that rusted piece. I was thinking maybe it was leaking from there.
Pat, I believe the rust is either from the meth exit through the rust cracks or the water/splashes from the roads, I have no clue. It's just my luck in buying parts lol, there's always something
how can they miss a step??? lol
Interesting...should've read this before I replied to your email. This will be like your 5th DP?! WTF...Quote:

Buddy I have no f-ing clue, I was like are you serious? lol But the rep was very prompt and polite, I decided to accept whatever they came up with as long as I get my issue fixed. Hopefully the bogging is from the minor leak at the flange. If not I don't know where it comes from :s
@Fobio hey Vince, it's not the DP lol it's the bpv flange coming out from the cold pipe right before the throttle body. as you can see on the second picture the red meth hose.Quote:

I will find out in a few days! if it doesn't fix the issue,I'm sure I can come by for a coffee and show you in person, thanks Vincent! @Fobio
the fact that they knew right off the bat is good but hopefully their whole batch wasn't affected..Quote:
