It will affect your boost, which can throw off fueling a bit since the UTEC uses boost reference on top of the MAF. It took me about 1 - 1.5psi less to hit the same MAF voltage (keep in mind the MAP sensor is in the intake manifold). It shouldn't throw things that far off, but it will slightly. Nothing like changing your intake which.

Well I will have a PDX tune for the VF39, OTS because I cant go there in person. However, I will have an AEM w/b.

Ok, got some things in today...really impressed that I won the auction and BOOM this is at my door already (like 4 days or so). My wife took some pictures (does it look like I have everything?):
In addition, the filter and TurboXS adapter came in. |

Have you also ordered a 2.5"-2.75" adapter for the throttle body? That's the only thing I don't see there.

Here's a link to the BOV/BPV adapter. Cheaper than the TXS brand adapter and it looks beefier. WBR is a vendor on NASIOC and IWSTI.

UPDATE!
I made the six hour drive to Austin, TX from Oklahoma City, OK and got tuned on my new combo, and the burmese soda can FMIC performed very well. The tuner commented that it was his first one to tune and everything went just fine. Here is my setup: 2005 STi stock longblock td06-20G 740cc eBay FMIC catless invidia 3" turboback walbro gss342 prodrive BCS APS BOV Perrin turbo inlet Ecutek I was tuned for ____91 octane_____ and laid down 270 on a heartbreaker dyno. translates to 350 on a dynojet across town he said. I am happy! It responds like a stock turbo but MUCH angrier when you poke it with a stick. |

In case anyone wants a matching 90 deg. hose for the BOV/BPV setup. I got this one a few weeks ago, works just like the radiator hose did, but looks better in the engine bay.

i think my rad hose isnt sealing well... wondering if silicone might seal better and/or hold boost better than a crap radiator hose... or maybe the rad hose i got is just slightly too large.

Same reason why I replaced it. Rad hose works well in a pinch... but I noticed mine was dry and brittle once removed.

Yeah, its my homemade CAI. Its a Spectre flex hose I got at Pep Boys for like $15. Its only 2.75 ID and the 90 degree Spectre fitting I have in the filter sucks since it narrows at the bend. Since then, I reinstalled the air filter back on the straight Spectre maf tube (no CAI) and the car feels much quicker. I run a 3" Red turbo so on a stock sized turbo, I doubt it would make any difference.

spectre for the win. Using a 3" cone filter in the engine bay no problems.
