TooSlowToCare Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Gutted Cats, BNR 16 http://i.imgur.com/8ZJK2ZD.jpg http://i.imgur.com/7337f7b.jpg http://i.imgur.com/3CxDfqG.jpg http://i.imgur.com/RMKYCZD.jpg The trip was a fluke. Seller made note that the vehicle needed to be tuned. Well, it already had a tune in it according to my tuner. Pulls better, especially at higher speeds. I got funny looks with my bullet-proofed IC. I guess they've never had issues with the stockers blowing? Also, I don't think the tuner quite understood what was going on with the BNR 16G (OEM turbo issue). I don't think they were familiar with LGT's at all. How are you guys getting 21psi+ on the stock intercooler? At 19psi, my stocker IC is holding (without barbeans bands). I just brought the bullet proofed IC along in case the stocker blew. I'm not sure if it's worth it to swap my stock IC & DP with aftmarket ones. Extra 15hp? I'll probably go E85. I'm pretty self conscious about my vehicle. I get funny looks on campus when I accelerate & my vehicle clicks/ticks/etc. Definitely going intake to drown that out. ***Tuner made note that this was a low reading dyno (15whp'ish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idiot4hire Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 IMO opinion don't get a another tmic the bullet proof one is fine until your around 300whp I had a vf52 with full supporting mods except a tmic. Then I added a Perrin and didn't notice a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragman Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 19lbs will blow your stock IC sooner or later. Just put on the bullet proofed one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyfarmer2 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 My IC blew while on their dyno about 2 yrs ago, they didn't seem to have much knowledge or care for tuning my car. An 05 LGT. Currenty building a motor for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
