Greddy kit and AP

Since the information is spread about 5 different threads with each 7 or more pages, perhaps an expert can write somthing up about greddy install with the AP in once place for everyone to reference.

Are the 3 greddy fixes needed?

How do you control the wastegate (or BOV if you get one)?

Is a new Intake nessicerry?

What are all the check valve install locations?

ok I"m not FI but I'll give u what i know....

The Greddy fixes are not a MUST just a "recommendation"
What do you mean about controling the BOV? Do you mean when it "goes off" well that all depends on the amount of boost you are running....basically when ur in boost and let off gas(to shift) ur BOV will go off when ur still in "vacuum" then it will not do anything(like shift at 2k rpms or something)

A new intake? well when u get the kit a "hot air" is provided where the filter is just sitting wher the stock airbox is located now...many ppl aroound here put a custom CAI in the car usually AEM or Mazdaspeed(same thing) is their "base" starting intake!

(anything I may be incorrect on for all u other FI guys please correct me I'm still learning)

With AP a new intake is the way to go.

Wastegate and BOV are controlled seperate from the AP. They run on vacuum lines.

Check valves are dependant on where you route your intake hoses.

Greddy Fix 2 (WG signal Line)- is the only one needed.

The adapter GReddy includes isn't long enough to get straight airflow across the MAF sensor. You need straight air or the MAF readings will be incorrect.

Not to mention the filter is unshielded inside the engine bay and heat soaks very quickly, you can see some very high IAT's in the summer.
