My metal zip-tie method. No interference with BPV tube or engine cover.

 

~$30 total (with 3 SS ties and a bunch of AL channel left over...)

 

Nevermind the very-cool-but-now-gone heat shield... it came off on it's own in <1 week. Oh well, back to the drawing board there. The end tank must flex much more than I thought.

 

Those are stainless cable ties. 33" length, trimmed up after install. I have PN's and new channel dimensions I can add later in an edit (papers out in the car). I ran a ~.015" deep, 3/16" wide slot down the length of each rail to capture the SS tie.

 

The locking feature on the SS ties allows for some slack, so I had to tension and then "set" the ball (read, hit with a hammer to deform housing and lock in-place). You have to feed and form the SS tie around the rails to get a snug fit; it doesn't have to apply force to the rails, it just has to hold them on - any movement of the rails will only tighten the SS ties hold.

 

I did JB the rails to the IC, but that's not necessary or required, the ties will not fail (100lb load rated). If anything goes wrong in the future I will let everyone know. I'm not too proud to admit failure, but it doesn't happen too often (again, nevermind the heatshield )

 

 

I was going to mock up a binding post method as well, but ran out of motivation. I did come up with a design though, which would use 1 binding post and 1 screw per end (4 total)- which I think would be cleaner and fit better than the threaded rod/washer/acorn nuts. #8-32 binding posts have a 1/8" head profile!! I''l post some PN's for that in an update as well.

OTS stg2 - protune ASAP!!

I want I want I want!!!!!!!

They do it to reduce the heating of the fuel and evaporative emissions. In a nutshell, the pump will run in 3 modes: 1/3 at idle or no load, 2/3 at low load and 100% at high load. There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AND NO BENEFIT to running the pump 100% at all times.

 

..Therefore, my Walbro showing 33% at idle and 67% at load is normal? Just checking.

I have the same question? the ones i was looking at droped the ride by .9 all around and didn'e hurt the ride much... anyone want to add there $0.02?

 

I'm running them. No problems. Feels like my WRX. Drop was very decent.

Interested in one for my '05. Details Please Mr. Lossol.

Search and found previous owner. Guess that helped solve this mystery. Car has been tuned (In KS, I believer) but will be re-tuned today. Car is actually running a VF52 with 750cc injectors and fuel pump. Hence the figures. I guess putting the CObb stg1 was actually de-tuning it. So hopefully, after protune, everything will be squared away

Stock map is showing 16.2psi Doing the data log 2mrw. Would be so kind as to oblige to my emailing data log to you? Also, which parameters would you recommend that I log?

Disregard. Seeking a cure for my noobism.

You guys are the greatest RE: support. I'm running Stg 1 93, no mods. have now been able to download Stock Map, so I'll check boost figures against that. Now, back to my noobish ways. If I'm not mistaken, I will have to have my laptop present in order to do the data logging? Yes? no?. Thanks a bunch

That's what I'm saying, so I uninstalled it. Waiting to hear from Cobb. I called them and they advised to compare the boost, it to stock map. However, the only way to revert to stock is to uninstall...which then gives me no readings. Am I missing something here? Did I get a faulty AP? Please help

Just loaded Stage 1 on an stock '05GT. Yesterday it indicated peak boost at 19psi. Today, lower temps, it peaked at 17.8. What gives?
