Lol being modest eh :P Vince does a great job, I am hitting all load targets and not overboosting in this cold weather.

FWIW miako is easily making north of 315hp and 350tq. The only things you can change now are the turbo, both manifolds, engine internals or the car lol...

Lol changing car is in the works but not mine, the wife's car changing soon :)

I was doing some maintenance work on my bpv this pass weekend, this crap doesnt look right at all! :(

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...

Hope this one works out for you no problem. Maybe you should ceramic coat this one... =)

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
