Ok guys I have a couple of quick questions.....sorry if they have been posted before, I have searched for info but can't find what im looking for!

Firstly....I am looking for intercooler piping for a FM that uses the factory inlet/outlet. Ive read that blitz kits use those but am wondering where the best place to get a blitz kit is. (ive been quoted around $500 and was wondering if this seems right)

I should mention i already have a cooler and only want the piping.

Second is in regards to an electronic boost controller. I have been looking at a couple of blitz ones and the difference between the 2 is that the cheaper one uses a single solenoid design and the more expensive uses dual.... Just wondering what kind of performance differences there are...

Thanks for your help!!

:D

Theoretically the dual is supposed to control boost more accurately, when bleeding a decent amount over nominal gate pressure. Some people have switched from other EBCs to the dual saying it cured issues. I think its more to do with the SBC being easier to setup then the solinoid itself.

Or, it could be simply a marketing ploy devised by evil marketing teams to hock more product, like sunscreen to prevent these so called "UV rays" which supposedly originate from the "Sun" and spawn life shortening "cancers" Phhft, sif

500 was for the piping alone as I already have the intercooler...

Im only planning on running around 10psi so im thinking the single solenoid boost controller will do the job no probs.

Thanks for the help guys! ;)

if u have a return style cooler then it shouldnt be a problem, if u have a hybrid style, then forget factory cooler placing cuz it wont work

as for the boost controller, if ur only runnin 10psi the single will do the job

I dont have a return style cooler but is there no way or just modifying a 'donut' pipe so that the piping can be joined to the cooler?

BTW - If I run the boost controller at around 10psi before fitting the FMIC am i likely to run into any problems?

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
