Charge piping?

livnpaintball2 · 07-19-2013, 10:25 PM

I have a jb4, 7" fmic,twins, full exhaust. I was looking at getting a chargepipe with VTA. Do these tend to throw codes? Am I just wasting money or is it good upgrade?

If you ask me you should go with the active autowerke CP or the BurgerTuning CP

VTA? Mainly what you are doing is replacing the factory pipe with one designed to handle more boost without popping off. No codes will be thrown. Most that run extra boost (including just 1M level boost) eventually have a problem with the factory pipe so I'd say it's a good investment.

if you upgrade your FMIC do you need to replace your charge pipe?

VTA , vent to atmosphere instead of recirculate back into the system. I would get a Burger but they are out of stock.

Looking at ER, and using stock DV. Wouldn't mind running an aftermarket bov but the cost for a good one is kind high, on the flip side it would suck if the stockers couldn't hold the extra boost.
