there is a thread out there where someone tested multiple bov against a stock one and all of the aftermarket ones made more power with no tuning just because they were holding boost. i dont remember the specifics but i will look for the thread and post a link if i can find it.

caleb is right on the money and he should be it cbrd's core. it is the same core in the buschur race intercooler just with cbrd endtanks and outlets. its nice being able to use any intercooler pipping you want especially if you are just replacing anbother companies intercooler as i did. simple install and plays well with other companies parts and stock parts, oh did i mention a 29whp/19wtq gain over ets 3.5 core!

All BOV's are not created equal. There's tons of threads on this, search for Mellon's review of the twin-vent and also search for 'forge' and 'buck' or 'stutter' ....the stock IX one holds boost if you crush it a bit, its the only valve I recommend and I run one personally.

Feel free to PM me so we don't go too far OT

 

true story, just because a company offers "upgrades" that doesn't mean it's not a big shiny pile of dung

I'm still loving my APS twin vent, it's seen 40psi numerous times and also works great for daily driving duty, hard to beat.

 

I had absolutely no idea this was/is the case as I've gone back and forth about both the BR race and deluxe and the concern that I have was not being a fan of having to trim parts of the car. I will get the CBRD FMIC without question based on this fact alone not to mention the stated whp/wtq gains by Jeff. Is it possible to have it annodized black? Now for a price please...

I currently have the Injen UICP and LICP and I have been told that the Injen LICP doesn't make as much power as some other LICPs on the market. Which LICP do you fellahs recommend I go with? I was looking at the ETS LP2. Also, for my Injen UICP, I should simply leave it alone as replacing an aftermarket UICP with another aftermarket UICP hasn't been shown to be a great benefit, right?

I cannot tell you fellahs how much I appreciate the feedback all the way from Iraq and I cannot wait to get home.

Chris and Jeff, yes I understand about the BOV concern and I really appreciate the responses. I'm leaning towards the APS twin vent but if I found a used stock IX floating around in the "for sale" threads I'll gladly take it as a suitable substitute. The whole "crushing" aspect still escapes me as to how to do it properly.

I can't say that I've done testing of various LICP/UICP solutions, I'd go with the same brand as your FMIC to ensure good fitment.

a stock IX bov isn't bad, just not ideal for high boost due to leaking, but it will offer good driveabilty

 

Sorry, the price is $825.00 plus shipping.

 

I have the Injen LICP but I had it modified so it is 2.5" to a reducer coupler like most others these days. You can't go wrong with an ETS product, but I would also recommend the Nesei, and Muse for the price point...

As for the UICP most people say that the tight radius bend right before the TB, and all the other bends cause a lot of turbulance, that my friend is completely up to you... I have the HKS UICP and I will most likely be replacing it with the Muse UICP and mini battery kit in the next few months...

 

Thanks Caleb. What LICP solution do you CBRD fellahs prefer?

I appreciate the feedback as always. As you can see, I'm getting things together for this large purchase complements of Uncle Sam and four Iraqi deployments.

 

You can either use our Aluminum LICP ($235.00 plus shipping) or the AGP works well too...

 

Sweet. Thanks, Caleb!

 

Just got the confirmation my bbk will be here tomorrow. Can't wait to run it.

 

I've got a similar setup to Atkins except I run Kelford 272, CBRD FMIC, and EPM O2 Dump and love it. Runs great daily driving through traffic. When you're WOT, it's a quick spooling monster.

I'm running the AMS LICP, however, if I had known CBRD had their own I would be running that instead.

 

Thanks Caleb. I'm getting a parts list together here in Iraq. Could you PM me the price for the CBRD FMIC and LICP shipped to 76559? I would call but I'm about eight hours ahead of you fellahs. Thanks.

 

Whattttttttttt no way with that power level and boost it's in your mind...By the way all intercooler tend to heat soak some it's normal it's called summer time..taking from a person who has a 4inch garret core...
