s2baru Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Perhaps that's the reason. Anyhow I think everyone would benefit from the crank pulley. Price point wouldn't be unrealistic for the most part and many people here would benefit from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 CAI and silicone hoses sound good to me (would order them today) but it will probably be too late by the time you have them available. p.s. - Did my TMIC get back from coating yet? Check your pm. Yours shipped today and I have 3more coated TMIC in stock now.

blklgt05 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 CAI, definitely interested in one with shields that works with AEM's dry filter. If you can do TMIC and FMIC, intake should be an easy one. Plus, no one makes one for us so you have no competition. mod journal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutchard Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Fixed. I dunno if I'd go as far as completely pointless. But the R&D to get an intake with proper MAF scaling is going to be a pain in the ass. If the flow over the MAF sensor isn't smooth, it'll screw up the readings. After getting rid of my MAF and going Speed Density, I do like the sounds my intake makes, but it didn't add any power on the dyno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandborn Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 ^ that's what I'm talking about... Sell your TMIC plus the pipes as a packaged deal... Outside power freaks like the few of us here - it would be a cosmetic thing I think many would do for the simply the look of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsme Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 From the recent posts from islandborn's build thread, the pipe from TMIC to turbo, and option with bov, should be hi on the list.... Ok, I have had request for the turbo to TMIC piping. I don't know if it will really improve performance. A bigger pipe may be able to handle more volume but, will the stock turbo able to keep up the pressure (psi)? I will have to do research.

No. How air flows post-turbo doesn't affect the intake or how it's scaled.

Bryan The kit I posted earlier was made in response to people blowing the stock charge pipe from boost they were running on the stock turbo. I just don't what actual boost pressure they were running. I've tuned literally dozens of '10~'12 cars to stg2 running at up to 19psi peak and never had one (pipe) pop.

It must have been mine then... however, I still like the idea of cosmetic addition (plus the added strength ) that a beautiful chrome/colored pipe would do to his great TMIC.

fahr_side Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I just don't know what boost the cars were running that popped the charge pipes, as I didn't tune them... I've seen the burst parts though, so I know it happens. It may be there are some manufacturing tolerances at play here, as in the intercoolers. Notice how some people can run for years at 18 or 19psi without the end-tanks popping off while others blow shortly after stage1 and 16 or 17psi?

Rutchard Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Just throwing it out there, but there are already a bunch of BOV's that'd work with the factory BPV flange. So if someone wanted the charge pipe with the stockish flange they could stick with the OEM one or they could go aftermarket if their heart desires. My worry about adding a second flange is that you'd need a block off plate for whichever flange you aren't using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
