subaruski Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Just put a Perrin TMIC on this afternoon. I'm Cobb Stage II with Avo drop in filter and a Cobb catless DP. Only hitting about 16.4psi. Does that seem right to everyone or maybe a little low. If I remember correctly it seemed a little higher, around 16.7psi, with out the TMIC. Any detrimental effects of not getting a protune with the TMIC? Cobb software runs rich enough to compensate for the added TMIC right? Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max713 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 From what Ive been told and observed, 16.5psi is pretty standard for stage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnguyenbb6 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 16.4 sounds right for a stage 2. Generally a larger core would cause a slight pressure drop but I didn't think it would on a TMIC.I would log cobb's tune if I were you. My car really didn't like it and knocked in multiple places.

FLEXN LegacyGT Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 If you have reliable protune sources get one. Ive seen more psi lost due to the tmic install so youre alright. Im Stage II w/ Perrin TMIC and safley run 19psi on the protune. You should get the tune. More efficient tmic so take advantage of less heat soak.

subaruski Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Ok new problem. I found the rubber ring that goes around the side that mounts to the turbo. Must of forgot about it when I first put the TMIC on. Took the TMIC off again and tried to put it back on. It really wouldn't seat well in the grove in the TMIC. Put on there the best I could. Got the IC back on and now I'm only hitting around 15.5 PSI. Cant hear or feel any leaks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
