ericem Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 maybe ill buy the dp next week and shamar will be doing the stage 2 map but with revisions this time. Also bought a aem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahr_side Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Ugh. You don't need an intake with a stock turbo and it will do you no good. Whatever. Just give your list of randomly chosen parts to Shamar so he can make you a base map and resist the temptation to install until it's done.

ericem Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 what ? I had a k n panel filter which was required for stage 1... Now i am putting a dry aem panel filter and going to get the dp next week and obviously go for a stage 2 tune. A bit of a misunderstanding ...........

bmx045 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 no aftermarket intakes are required. especially for stage 1 or 2, and sometimes even 3. stock intake and filter is actually prefered by most from a tuning aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Once again it is the STOCK OEM INTAKE, but with a panel drop in filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 it was required to put atleast the panel filter even on xpt's stage 1 tunes recommends atleast a k n panel filter!! http://www.xpttuning.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6_45_47&products_id=94 A panel filter is not a aftermarket intake system!

bmx045 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 aftermarket filters aren't required. noob put the stock one back in if you have a stock maf scaling, then there wont be any question as to the cause of a/f fluctuations. DONE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericem Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 i already asked shamar and he said the stage 1 map with k n panel filter is fine i doubt the scaling would be a incredible difference to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 realistically i have fixed my intake leaks, fixed my boost leaks, now need to verify whether or not to keep the stock bpv or the turbosmart . From these logs I am thinking i am going to sell the turbosmart valve because it did nothing positively worth the money I spent on it and i am going to go stage 2 officially.

fahr_side Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Sorry. I took 'an AEM' to mean one of their intakes. I'm going to leave you in Shamar's capable hands now.

From these logs I am thinking i am going to sell the turbosmart valve because it did nothing positively worth the money I spent on it and i am going to go stage 2 officially. Here is an option that will provide you with everything an aftermarket BOV has... except their problems and poor reliability. It uses your OEM BPV and costs almost nothing. It will hold ANY boost without leaking. And, unlike the OEM BPV, it is closed until requested to open... as opposed to open until requested to be closed. That means much quicker throttle response and a faster boost onset. It's been around forever and time tested. I've personally used this mod on every Subaru turbo from my 05 LGT to a WRX and now my STi. IMO, it is simply the best solution relative to the OEM BPV. Read the entire thread, don't form an opinion until you can. There is not another BPV/Diverter Valve solution I'd rather have on my car than this simple, cheap, little "fix" to the BPV your car came with. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=454965&highlight=16+cent+bpv+drill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 so where is the write-up on how to do that on a plastic oem bpv like 08+ wrx and 05+ lgt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG!!!! someone please hit me in the head with a brick so I can't keep reading this shit. You have it 100% backwards! OEM paper filters are required for any OTS map. That is what any competent tuner will ask you to do unless they are messing with maf scaling or going extremely conservative with the tune.

ericem Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 i just linked the xpt tune that's ots yet still says k n panel filter zomg ¡ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users seabass07 Posted June 20, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted June 20, 2012 That's because they de-tuned it so you can use one. It's going to be rich with shit timing. Not to mention 14psi in 4th gear? That's only 0.5psi above stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 lol were the wastegate duty cycles even touched? they probably disabled the CEL's and richened the maf scale by 5% and called it a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Users seabass07 Posted June 21, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted June 21, 2012 Mine was dead on at 13.5 stock. Dead on at 16psi stg 1. I could probably go up to 17, but I don't have much time to mess with tuning right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 see knock in the same area! had nothing to do with the turbosmart bpv. I might try out that mod. I feel like I got a bad tank of gas maybe and/or whenever it is +32c the tune isn't happy at that certain load? So for shits and giggles put in the stock air filter. I didn't get anything but at the same time it was cooler. Once I get the dp (just got the catted one not waiting for a catless 5eat pipe) ill pop in the dry filter, clean the maf AGAIN and start with the stage 2 tune from shamar going to send him the money for it now so I get the tune before the dp lol.

bmx045 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hot temps outside shouldnt be a real problem since IAT comp tables pull x amount of timing for a given iat. If the tables are setup properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDKSDMF Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 just got a blue vagcom cable from ebay. i want to log with romraider and looks at it with learning view as well...ill leave the flashing to the pros unless i decide to do infamous tuning revisions. idk where to start! i tried oepning rom raider and it said my cable wasnt connected. i changed b4 port 3 and 4 and no recognition.. i even synced my blue tooth dongle to my samsung win xp tablet thinking it might work as a cable but it doesnt seem to work that way. i was allowed to assign the ebay BT dongle to port 3 tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
