Evening,
So I've just completed my "little weekend project" (and its only Friday, must find more fun stuff ), and thought I share.
*Installed the boost pill upgrade
*Installed the Evo IX BOV (FYI, tid bit no one mentions, the bleeder valve is 120* counter-clockwise, making the tubing a little tight)
*Installed a Perrin Oil Catch Can
*Re-tuned to Bryan's Upgraded Boost Pill V2

Took her for a quick jaunt (class in the am, such is the life of a working adult, haha!) and wanted to bestow my initial impressions.
First off, DAMN>>>>>>>>>>
Everything is so much smoother, from the larger torque curve (nice platue from 3.5-5.5K Bryan) to the tranny shifts (BTW I now see the over-rev everyone's been talking about. no biggie just get it re-tuned, thanks for the awesome work on getting everyone started GST!!)
Some sexynesssssss








Thanks,
Steve

 

Oh yeah one more thing, for the install of the catch can I couldn't find anywhere to "mount" it that wasnt directly next to the turbo. We have a super compact engine bay (relative to scoobies which can almost fit you in with the motor, haha!), and tried but ended-up wedging it between the battary and the frame. That shouldnt cause any problems right??

 

Is the EVO IX BOV any louder than stock. Hold boost better thant he stock one for the boost levels we reach with the V2 GST tune?

 

No, I think its actually more quiet. The stock one leaks and thats the hiss we hear. But it does seem to hold boost better, dont have empirical evidence until I install my GFB EBC (w/ a scrambler button, watch out, haha!)

 

Did you tune this yourself?

 

Not bad.
