Also I am still paying on the car, so if the engine blows while I am still paying the car off it kinda sucks.

I'll probably run it like this until after winter, and then decide what I want to do...If I upgrade the intercooler process west FTW.

Why would you need bigger injectors? one8turbo was and I still am running a bigger IC with stock injectors. I know you have a custom tune, is that why? I'm really curious.

Go big TMIC, EBCS, re-tune and you're set for a while.

Absolutely. I didn't do injectors until i upgraded the turbo.

Hmm I always thought that I needed bigger injectors if i did a bigger TMIC, manual boost controller (rather do manual which I already have) and a re-tune.

I guess I am wrong haha.

Good to know haha!

Why manual BCS instead of EBCS? I always thought EBCSs were better. Sorry for nitpicking your modding techniques, I am just a curious dude.

Also, you're assumption above is correct if you were going to run E85. But for stock turbo on 93 octane, stock injectors work fine.

one8turbo · 10-12-2012, 01:55 PM

In all honesty your best bet is to talk to your tuner and see what he says about the intercooler and boost controller. Seems like most tuners like ebcs's

The EBCS i don't want to use because my tuner likes the manual boost controllers better.

Plus I like the fact that every boost level will be tuned up to the maximum boost level you are running, so I have the option to turn the boost down in the winter time if i want.

You may ask why would I turn the boost down in the winter time, my answer is I want to protect the engine from boost creep, which these turbos are known for, so If i turn the boost down in the winter with the cold air, i won;t have to worry about it.

Are your current injectors running higher than 85% of their duty cycle?
If not, then you don't need bigger injectors.

I don't like ebcs on ewg cars because of the waste gate chatter. It's annoying as hell haha. They work and work well but I prefer mbc's

vdcoff · 10-20-2012, 01:10 PM

So i think the boost leak issue is fixed, and with this turbosmart BPV the car is holding boost like a champ!

Time to upgrade the intercooler before the end tanks blow

Shipman · 10-20-2012, 01:36 PM
