No. Just replace it. Full VTA.. Guy didn't have a clue what he was talking about.
awesome appreciate it. and thats why you can not believe everything you hear he was saying that it would cause back firing and your car would run too rich
Should read the mod path. Also, our stuff is called a bypass valve. There's a way to be able to safely use a blow off valve but that invloves a lot more detail that you'll have to read up on.Quote:

Other than that, happy safe modding. :)
Learn what types of blow off valves are available. Learn about the bypass valve on our cars. Many companies like cobb and corksport make replacements that sound great and won't harm your car. Yes you need a tune to go vta.
Nyahahahaha. :thumbsupQuote:

Guys lets stop spreading shit info as funny as it is sometimes
Then newcomers cannot decipher the truth from the shit
Safest bet is to ignore everything posted in this particular thread
LoL unless you're part of the club and have a grain or two of salt right? We have legit convo's with each other, just not with noob questions.
Yeh 1 or 2 grains should do it....sometimes 3 or 4 if we go over to the deep end
I'm thinking about getting the cpe tmic as it's on sale right now for $399. But if anyone has one sitting in their garage or plan on selling their's soon cause you plan to go fmic let me know.
I am waiting for JBR to come out with his FMIC piping kit, then I will be selling mine. Depends on how long you can wait lol... I know it won't be out until at least the summer.Quote:

actually contemplating going back to it, except I like the big FMIC in the grill.....
This. Quite happy with mine. Unless you're going big turbo, the cp-e TMIC flows plenty.Quote:

If you're doing a built engine why the heck would you go with such a little turbo?Quote:

hm..$399 is tempting...
Nothing wrong with a TMIC on a GTX2867.Quote:

The engine ain't broke yet but I like having a game plan. We'll see how far the game plan actually goes though... considering I could sell my car and just get a AWD/RWD platform to have more fun (traction) with.
I may go BT before forged judged by what you guys are saying.
I hope you have a reserve of 20k cash in the bank. You should ask some of the members on the forum how many times they had to build their engine before they got it right.Quote:
