Sounds like what we used to experience years ago when ball bearing turbos became affordable. Back then we didn’t have a clue about the effects of high oil pressure on the seals of those turbos and ended up with the same results you are having, until we discovered that inline restrictors would...
Have you checked your local auto parts store? They’ll let you go back and put hands on their stock, most typically stock a couple hundred different ones.
CVF race intercooler is one of the best out there, go for it!
I would never recommend the street version or any stock location intercooler, in fact several of those that have first bought the street version or stock location intercoolers have upgraded to the race version.
And this is my 19 eco boost with 18x9 front w/ 255/40/18 Nitto Invos, and 18x9.5 w/ 275/40/18 in the rear on stock base suspension.....so far lol! Offset on these centerlines is a foxbody offset. I’ve got some 10th anniversary wheels I’m going to try on latter this week too.
You kinda just...
China is still communist, and has complete control over the media etc....and when you take into consideration the Chinese traditions of “saving face” etc it’s really no surprise that the virus wasn’t announced to the world. You can bet there where many more deaths and infections than have been...
I do not know if it does say that, but I know from running turbo cars for 30+ years that you will have to clean it. Add it to your maintenance schedule for once a year.
Want to watch something that’ll really blow your mind? There’s a documentary called “The Coming Pandemic” made in 2005, it’s 55 minutes long. I caught it on my Amazon Fire Stick and in eerily parallels what is going on now with Covid19.
1. A new intercooler should take precedence over a new downpipe. Cooling the intake charge will help keep your motor healthy as well as potentially aiding power production.
2. Mishimoto catted downpipes come in 2 versions from what I’ve seen, one is a high count cat that doesn’t “require” a...
Absolutely, they are a proven must have for any car driven hard, tuned, etc. boosted or N/A. I do not sell catchcans and am not involved in manufacturing in any way. But I’ve been doing MotorSports, engine building and tuning for 30+ years and a catchcan is always a good thing.
OEM cats have a 400 per inch cell count, if you get a 3” downpipe with a 300-400 cell count you’ll be fairly safe without a tune and will not through a code. If however you go to a super high flow catted downpipe with a 100-200 cell count a tune is definitely recommended as well as a restrictor...
