New Turbo Inlet - Engine Dying

[2.5T_/<ouki]

Who cares man... Function over form.

If you don't like the bottle cap and screw, find something more suitable to plug the holes.

Look at all the trouble you have gone to and looking to go further, just so you can have a metal intake pipe which is not giving you ANY benefit what so ever.

Well, i was afraid to tune with this as i thought it would leak air. I suppose i could find something a bit better to cap it, but honestly i can't stand the stock inlet lol.

I wouldnt bother plumbing back unless your going back to stock bov in stock position dude.

the aftermarket bovs will require more force to open them and the turbo will still create reversion when the throttle snaps shut, before the bov has a chance to do its thing.

If you are truly limited to the Nistune then your best idea would be to move the AFM to the cold side cooler pipe. Do this before the tune and your tuner should easily be able to rescale the AFM so that it works properly. The problem will be solved and you can keep the HKS BOV and the better intake pipe make sure your AFM is in good condition and doesnt leak.

I wouldnt go back to the stock intake pipe as you will probably end up with a bigger turbo regardless and the AFM will need to be moved anyway. So may as well move the AFM now.

Yes i am limited to NIStune as i already have the board and ECU ready to go !

IS there a post or link that you can share or elaborate on relocating the MAF? Seems like i would have to do it while at the shop right before i get on the dyno or else my car wont work properly.

move AFM post intercooler, pre throttle...

move BOV to pre intercooler, hot pipe

rescale AFM in software, adjust INJ table to suit.

Cost you about $200 in fabrication work or so + 2x silicon reducers...

Figured that part. So pretty much Id need to drive to the shop with the car normally and then do these modification before i get on the dyno? Seems like too much work. I may just have to put the janky ass stock inlet pipe back on :\. I wish there was way to fix this reversion by putting something after the AFM but before TURBO.

Thank you ALL for the help. I truly appreciate it.

yeah, or sell the NIStune, buy an Adaptronics OR ViPec OR Link OR Haltech OR Megasquirt..

changing the ECU requires the least effort.

or sell car and buy Bugatti

Realistically you wont need to do the work at the shop.

You can do it all at home and then limp the car to the tuner. Moving the AFM will make it run like shit but will still run.

No issue.

I would simply move the pipe to the drivers side inner guard, just after the cooler, and would leave everything else as it is.
