Greddy turbo questions

Hey guys

We just finished installing my Greddy kit on the car, but I still have some questions. I have a Greddy RS blow off valve, but the adaptor to mount it isn't included. I found two types. Should I take the aluminium one ? I think I saw another solution somewhere once in the form of a flexible T piece. Has anybody used that? Where could it be bought? The kit came with a blue emanage. Is it safe to test the car with the default e-manage mappings?
A big thanks.

Steve

You are gonna need the aluminum flange. Also why did your kit come with the emanage and not the emanage ultimate. You must have bought your kit from someone.

Have to get the aluminum flange. Piping from Greddy is aluminum. Different metals won't function together properly.

Also, the base map is OK, but at your 1st opportunity you should go get it tuned from a competent mechanic. Power & reliability gains are well worth it.

Can you please explain yourself on the "Different metals won't function together properly"? You must be talking about the fact that it may not weld together? I really don't see how the material of the pipe can affect anything.

You can get a rubber pipe connector with a flange in it from ptpmotorsports.com
They are a little pricey though

Yes, they won't weld together. Different metals will function the same (just weight difference with aluminum vs. steel).
