If its anything like my VF48 (about the same as a 16G) it'll be a little laggy. I went to a PW TMIC over the summer, gained about 300rpm of spool and haven't regreted it for a nanosecond. Keep in...

Turbo Reccomendations

Gotta' question, but first the issue:

My 08 was a blast on the street - just sneeze and it was boosting like mad! (WRX) It was boardline too quick to spool because as soon as it was boosting, at...

That's not entirely true, less the turbo actually boosts. I'd like to see some data that shows outlet temps varying with IWG and EWG on the same turbo. I'm sure there is a thermal effect, a small...

Not trying to thread-jack or anything, but I don't see where the EWG actually does too much of anything. Granted, I don't know a thing about your tune, but my boost curve with the stocker IWG on a...

Then buy a new front 02 sensor (about $100 shipped). Adjusting your idle won't solve the problem. Its not the cars ecu's fault. There's something needing replacing if there is absolutely 100%...

Still need to do a proper comparison between the TMIC vs FMIC setup, but I finally found my old dyno from the FMIC. Thought I'd post it up and try to figure out how to use the airboy dyno again and...

I may be wrong, which is why I ask this: isn't the VF46 essentially almost a VF39/48/52?

Op, you can run ANY turbo you want with the right intercooler: PW TMIC will let you run any turbo, and a...

Yeah, a BPV leak is a post turbo leak. Are you running the stock BPV? Aftermarkert? If you have an aftermarket, just throw the stock unit back on and see what happens. That shouldn't take more than...

Fitmet couldn't be better! The one and only "fitment" issue is that a tall BPV (like the TXS) with the manifold to BPV tube on the top of the unit is probably too tall to work out. You're best to...

Just throwing up some pics on the PW TMIC installed.... The red silicone hoses are for closing off the turbo inlet from the PCV and head breathers.

I had/have the TXS fmic. It's really a fine intercooler, but now with a VF its just too large, I feel, for a smallish turbo.

When tuning the car, I actually was able...
