Pre-BOV

 

Very cool. How does it handle?

 

Any performance issues?
How is your boost holding up?
Have you made any engine mods?

so many questions.... sry.

 

nice sleeper

 

Ditto...

 

Handles great, I've had no traction/handing problems.

Boost is better than I thought... I am holding 9 without any major tuning that I have done....

No other engine mods besides a MS cat back, still adding more, I just started.

 

Have you hit the dyno yet? If so what are you putting down?

 

No not yet. Other 8's I've seen with similar set ups were around 280-300, I don't think it's too much less than that...

 

Did you dyno before by chance?

Paul.

 

Unfortunatly not... Other people say the stock 8 has 180rwhp? *shrug*

 

Looks nice. Thanks for being a test mule for us future modders. :-)

 

whoa, sleeper....

 

major "sleeper"

 

VERY unsuspecting.

 

coming next week to the dyno/show meet in PA?.....bring it!!

 

I say paint the intercooler black and re-circulate the bov and you'll have the OEM appearance completed.

 

YOu do know that he will have decrease in cooling if he powercoats (or ... "paint" ) the itnercooler? people have done that and they experience higher temps.

 

Love it... no exterior mods! perfect.

 

Where at in PA? Hopefully it's on a Sunday lol.

No, the next mods are: Midpipe, Pulleys, New plugs/wires, then by then I should need a new clutch.

I'm not really doing anything else to the outside....

 

black obsorbs heat. if anything paint it white or chrome to deflect the heat obsorbtion.


looks like a killer set up! sleeper mode FTW!

 

Wow thats a really nice sleeper...very low profiled to the untrained eye

 

Nice

 

This thread sucks without videos

I've seen arguments that go both ways on this. Basically it came down to what kind of paint you are using and how evenly and thinly it was applied.

I would not just go out and get a can of black spray paint. But I would research the topic and find out more information.
