ams intercooler/piping etc

i was just wondering if anyone was running the ams intercooler with all the piping and tial bov on their stock turbo and how it ran like that as well as what intake you are using because i can decide if i want to go with either ams or buschurs setup. thanks

I've got the HKS RS intake and full pipeing. On my 05 i don't have the surgeing and idle problems of the earlier years by VTA.

It's an Awesome piece of work.

With the AMS Pipes, Intake and Buschur exhaust no tune or VFAC on stock boost i ran a best of 13.2 @ 105 with a 1.9 60'

I have the AMS intercooler and their upper intercooler piping with a greddy type-s BOV. It looks really nice and gets rid of all the ugly stock piping. Buschur and AMS use similar piping. I know AMS recently changed their piping by cutting one section in half in order to make i easier to install an alky kit. I'm not sure if Buschur is the same way.

I have a UTEC. Oh yeah, and I am using an HKS intake pipe with a Blitz SUS filter. Forgot to mention that one.

i am running the ams intercooler and different hard pipes throughout with hks ss bov. i like it and fitment was perfect. also running the hks intake pipe and filter. from what i know ams and the buschur set-up are almost identical so just get whatever is best priced. good luck.

Some people claim to not have any issues with a VTA BOV and the stock MAF, but this isn't true for all. I'm not sure how people can get away with it, but I still wouldn't chance it. If you plan on running a VTA BOV, definitely ditch the MAF, just as a precautionary measure.
