3 bends

- 1st bend off inlet before getting to battery tray,

- 2nd bend to go around battery

- 3rd to go down into the fender

That's besides the point though, it's not as free flowing to be that beneficial.

And I could remember way back when, people were talking about the Filter on the ZPI kits being to long after the MAF sensor, so people were cutting the piping shorter as it worked better for tuning and getting better results. Unless you switch to a blow through type setup, I wonder how all the piping after your MAF is actually affecting your performance.

 

very true...probably end up changin it but not yet lol

 

hey topekatc what shop is doing your tune and work?

 

installed myself with help of a diesel mechanic i know...tune myself off of a base map of Luiggi's for a 60-1 turbo...mine is only a 57trim

 

howd u get Luiggi's basemap?

 

a guy i no got it and gave it to me...i can't use it tho because it's for the emanage ultimate and i have the emanage blue so right now i am running the base map from greddy off of dezods website...and am looking for an emanage blue map for 7lbs of boost to use or buy if needed and then fine tune myself

 

if you get another tune from someone else its going to be all messed up since your in kansas. because when i was tuned in miami and was stationedi n ft.riley as soon as i got there it was all messed up. it was alot leaner.

 

nice to see that you finally made something outta my manifold, turbo did u use my custom downpipe too? it wasnt too pretty

 

o ok...well don't know of any good shops in town to tune so i'm goin to have to do a lot of research to find someone that is good

 

turn the boost down to 5psi and run like that till you find a tuner

 

ill just not let it go into boost

 

Thats risky hahaha

 

x2

 

what management do you have again? i drove 7 hrs to a tuner w/ just a base tune.. i just stayed off boost

 

greddy emanage blue...i got there base map for 8psi off of dezod's website so i know i'm runnin fat if i go into boost...which i would think is safer than lean

 

is that the greddy map from the tech section? i tried that too and it didnt work very well.. the map i used was from dezod too, it ran 11.5-11.6 at wot but i didnt try to go over 5,500 rpms.. but you should be fine as long as you stay out of boost and also listen for knocks and watch your afrs

 

kinda hard to do when u have the loud screaming sound of a wastegate

 

^^ i suggested to keep out of boost, but still listen for knocks... if he is street tuning, yeah that is hard to do because of the wg and exhaust sound+ wind+ engine and those

 

k gotcha but why would it knock outside of boost?

 

a car could knock regardless of manifold pressure.. but usually it happens and more destructive on high load.. too much ignition timing or too much heat will cause it to knock
