13.0 What ya think?
No, it's not reasonable, because changing your BOV will void your warranty in a heartbeat.
So, risking your warranty to use a BOV that's not as good is difficult to understand. I'm sure you could sell it for a good price, then use that cash towards a flash that will give you TONS of power without being detected.

Is that not reasonable?

The Greddy Type S will hold boost just fine, I have pressure tested mine to 25psi and it never leaked. Replacing it with your original one won't do a thing for your 1/4 mile or ET. If your car explodes, it won't be the fault of the Greddy BOV, unless you broke the diaphragm in it somehow, which would go for the stock IX BOV as well. Is the Greddy type S worth the money? Not a chance.
ok so i been thinkin about it, and i might get a piggy back unit, like a S-AFC or whatever to get some more HP, and just take it out when i go for warrenty work... can i expect good HP gains with a S-AFC, MBC, and a DP? will it give me the same amount of gains or should i think about flashin the ECU instead?
Just get a flash. There isn't an ECU harness for the IX, and the SAFC can't manipulate the MIVEC or cam profile. A flash won't be noticed or seen, so it's not an issue, but you'll gain a ton of power.
i know this has been beating the dead horse, but there is still a possiblity it can be seen, i dont think i can take that risk.. i heard of mitsu techs in my areas sprayin water on the windows to see if there bubbles up to see if there are old track numbers there, so u have to use rainx to stop that. thatsd why i cant take that risk

It is Driver if you learn to launch a little better say a 1.6ish youd be right where you wanna be with your current setup. I pulled a 13.05 @109 with a 1.7 60 So I think your in line for it.

Bro I know you think Warrtalon is flaming you, he does the same thing to me and I talk to him a lot.
You should be able to go Mid 12s with your setup, but hell you know I should be going mid 11s with my setup and I don't.
Clayton's ways will work if you use them, but running 13 flat in an otherwise stock car is not bad. As long as you're having fun that's all that matters.

You really make no sense. You're worried so much about your warranty that you won't do the most UNDETECTABLE MOD POSSIBLE, yet you are drag racing weekly, using a dumb aftermarket BOV, and are about o install an MBC that will easily be detectable even if you put it back to stock.

no the MBC is not going on, the BOV is comming off, so im back to just having the catback and k and n drop in filter. now just to decide about the flash. Can you be sure that ur percentage numbers are correct? or are u just guessing that is the percentage. How would they detect it? they would actually have to look for it?
My percentage is just pulled out of my ***. The reason why I put it so low is because we haven't seen one case where a dealer detected it or where a warranty was voided because of a flash. The fact of the matter is that they CAN detect it with the right tool and the right know-how, but the only thing they can detect is that something was change in the ECU. They have no idea of knowing WHAT was change. For all they know, it could be a tune, or it could just be a PO300 reflash fix from another dealer.
We haven't seen a case of any dealer finding one. It's not as easy as them hooking you up to a diagnostic tool and seeing it, and there are no external signs.
