So I went to the shop yesterday and got ym car back and let me tell you, they started it up and it didnt have one seingle problem with is, it sounds like the meanest thing in the world. Idles perfectly, the jwt ecu gave me no codes back and i dont have any cells, the car is running 4 pinds of boost and feels like a monster. THE stock spark plugs are golding out since i havent changed them yet and everythig is working beautifly. The only thing that im wondering about is my bov, it releases air just i cant hear it, i dont know why maybe because my exhaust and engine are loud as hell. I left my camera at the shop so i should have pics/videos up by sometime sunday night, i am so addicted!! this is unbelievable...

 

Very nice. Glad to hear it all came together for you. Did you get all the issues sorted out that were pointed out in your previous thread?

 

Congrats on getting the car back! After nearly 2 weeks of waiting, you must be really excited.

Which BOV do you have? It may need some adjusting, or it could be just quieter than most..

 

Are you recirculating the air from the BOV?

 

Booooooyaaaaa

 

please tell me you are not running the OEM platinum plugs.

 

actually the plenuim plugs are holding out ok, i left my other ones at the shop and will pick them up monday, im not recirculating but the bov is working but sounds weak, maybe because the car is so lud, ill take clips and post em, 4 psi right now feels awesome, need to get mevi put on which i have in the closet and get her tuned. Will have stuff up tomorrow for you guys, if not tomorrow cause the shop might be closed then deff monday after 5.

 

congratz on the set up..
try loosening the bov set screw.

but i wouldn't be suprised if it was quiet since it's only 4 pounds of boost.

 

oh yeah i didnt take that inso consideration im not running a lot of boost.....hhmm..point well taken

 

Congrats man! I've been following your progress a lot. It's awesome to hear you're finally running! I'm ready to start piece my turbo kit. :-D Please keep us updated.

 

thanks man, although i need to take videos of some things that i think are a bit strange and post em on here to get some good responses, and i cant do that untill i get my camera, thanks for all the replies guys sorry i cant provide anything right now as far as pics/videos

 

OOOOOOHHHHH, I bet you car loves that cold PA air. Since it's gotten a bit colder south of the Mason/****son line my POS is running like a scalded dawg........when it doesn't detonate. I doubt your gonna get much more than a puff out of the BOV at 4 psi. Crank that beast to 7 pounds, you'll bust a load!

 

Congrats, glad to hear all is working well so far.

 

when i got the car back my idle was between 750 and 850 when i turned the car on this morning it was at like 1200-1300 until the car warmed up is this normal with boosted cars?

 

That should be normal for almost any car. Did you have the a/c on? Congrats on the boost. At what rpm does that T-60 spool up? I might be looking to get one of those.

 

Actually it spools up really fast.....in 4th gear i start to see boost arou d 3200 or 3300, in second its around like 3900-4000 and in third it comes on like at 3500-3700 i dont know exact numbers yet cause i didnt get a nice chance to look at it, but ill take video soon and you guys can see when it hits boost at every gear.

 

Hey mike remember you told me to get rid of this hose and get a breather instead but i didnt do it just to see how it effects the car and it seems to be working out great, actually when i close that hose down or pinch it the idle gets a little wierd. Is there a sideeffect to this hose still being attached?

 

I said that it looked like you had the hose going to the BOV, you said it didn't. That was my concern. If the hose goes back to the intake piping that is fine.

 

oh ok then i missunderstood you. im also very happy that i dont have a gay ecu cell on from the jwt ecu!!

 

max in progress as fas as the BOV, its cuz ur running low boost dont worry as soon as u hit around 6psi its gona be LOUD. and as far as rpms goin to 11-1200 its normall, Exact same thing happens to me.. and if ur in the NY area any time soon pm me we ll go around killin some PUNKS

 

hey man ill drive up a friday night if you want me too, we can chill take me to some racing spots in nyc id love that.

 

hit me up kid... i ll bring u where u wanan go... we could def find some races... let me know

 

Nice, now turn up the boost

 

How much were you charged? Did they bend your pipes and do full install or just the install?

 

hey maxinprogress .. i wish you would have come to the philly meet but you had a problem with something i remember reading .... anyway, where in philly are you at?..im in philly and id really like to check out your car sometime....maybe we could meet up and chat sometime for a bit .... talk to ya

 

Congrats on the install MIP, cant wait to see them pics and vids. I'm pretty close to finish with the parts collecting myself since the last time we talked on AIM. Have fun and be safe.

 

i personally would have put the maf on the non charged side that way the maf can also read the additional air getting sucked in through the crankcase like how the stock set up is..

but as long as your car idles fine and isn't running lean the i guess it's all good =D.

 

Air getting sucked into the crank case???

 

i meant to say valve cover. you know how there's a tube that goes from the front valve cover to the intake, right after the maf?

 

oh wait after looking at the picture some more it seems like the tube does go after the maf... but is it good to introduce positive pressue (boost) into the valve cover?

 

You have it all wrong, mingo. The air does not flow in the direction you're thinking of. The air comes OUT of the valve cover and into the intake stream. However I can see a problem with the airflow. If he's pushing air through those pipes, wouldn't some of it inevitably get pushed through the tube and into the valve cover as well?

Think about it...the engine is a vacuum when not boosted, so it pulls the air out of the valve cover. But when you're forcing air in, that would probably force air into the valve cover as well, would it not?

 

in a boosted application you should NEVER pressurize the crankcase..I can't see the line exactly, but if so that is not good

 

It's the valve cover, not the crankcase. Either way, I can't see it being good

 

I just slapped a breather filter on mine.

 

That's why I'm wondering why he didn't just do that. On the other end of the line I'm sure that would work, too. Would have been easiest to just not include a hole for the line in his piping to begin with, but either way...

Then again, didn't he say his idle got kind of funny when he pinched the line?

 

its the same thing

the "proper" way would be to run a line wiht an inline oil seperator and run the line to the intake pipe before the turbo

 

How about an oil catch can?

 

that would go on the pcv side.

if you take the pipe off on the front valve cover, and put your finger on the hole on the valve, you'll feel some vacuum. that means it sucks air in when the engine is not under throttle. the air sucked in needs to be metered. and the back side vents air. so the oil catch can needs to be set up back there in a way where it isolates it from the intake system so it won't get boost. then again there is the pcv that acts as a check valve, i'm not sure how much pressure it can withstand though

 

IM atry taking that off and putting a breather on it. I cant find my camera guys and i dont know what happened to those 12 sprak plugs that were in the same bag, dammit..... im trying to find a camera right now for you guys. As far as this weekend, fun sunday night, beat my friends tsi running 18lbs a modded gt and a moded g35 only running 4lbs of boost so far, got some little minor things to take care of before i let it see 10 or > lbs.

 

Oh yeah, let the ownage begin!!!
