ix with cams tuned

Jon, what's special about the TT 280 intake cam, is that this is a IX, and that's the only intake cam in existence (for now) that works on a IX.

I also agree with you on the boost leak issue, stock IX valves shouldn't leak at 22psi.

A boost leak would not be surprising with the LICP - that's pretty common - but the BOV? I highly doubt the stock BOV is leaking on pump gas boost. I have pressure tested several IXs stock or near-stock IXs that didn't have any leaks up to 25psi. Just be sure to do a pressure test before you go back, but the clutch you can't do anything about until you replace it. It's probably time to do that, since you're going to be driving around in a very powerful IX.

iam sure that the licp is leaking,yeah it has tbolt clamps but if its installed wrong it will leak. thats why iam going back up there on the 10th to sort out the problems.
btw turbotrixs did not instal the pipe I did.

Yeah, vwjeff, why would you say that? You could have it sealed in concrete and still have a leak if it wasn't done properly. T-bolt clamps are only as good as the person who installs them, and the most common boost leak on the Evo is after an LICP install. All it takes is a simple pressure test to verify. The good thing about the t-bolt clamp is that if he does find a leak down there, the t-bolt clamp is his best bet to get rid of it...
Eve-slow, no not yet, but last time I talked to Greg, they had 75 pre-orders. It's probably over 100 by now.

Just woundering if that is way mine only makes 19psi WOT? Might check mine now
(you always got me thinking)

i would'nt say awesome but decent numbers, some ix are doing this with out the cam so more tunning needs to be done. and hopefully the boost leak when fixed will help produce better numbers.

All cars dont respond the same to mod's and not all are created equal. Some make more power, some might make alittle less. Their are alot of variables that play in to the outcome, like boost leaks, outside air temp, etc. when it come to making good power. As long as the car performs well on the street and at the track I would be happy. Just my .02

if iam not mistaken your car is tuned at 24psi, mine is set at 22psi with a boost leak so who knows how much i have lost. like i said with tuning and the boost leak fixed it should put down some good numbers.paitence is key
