IMRC Delete? Procharged S550

[ven377]

So I have had the procharger HO kit on my car for about 8 months and for the past few weeks my car has been throwing codes p2006 and p2007 IMRC stuck closed bank 1 and bank 2. Basically at about 5k RPM and about 5Psi boost the car stops making power as if it was naturally aspirated. I spoke with procharger and was told a few people were getting the same codes from installing the vacuum tee on the front of the engine that has the check valves in it wrong or my IMRC parts were damaged. I will post some pictures of my install below.
At this point I am thinking about buying a intake with all the IMRC parts that was removed from a whipple install or something and just replace it or doing IMRC delete but not sure if it has been done on these cars?

Go with a Boss intake. You will have to get your tune reworked a little and the car will make more power.. It will also look better!!

I have a 14 intake. Cost me $50.00. Removed everything back there and Lund tuned the IMRCs out for me. Now I am waiting on the Sniper intake to get here.

how much was the tune for the 14 intake? cause i can get a 15 intake for 150-200 with the IMRC parts. What parts do i exactly need from the IMRC to fix this? are all the needed parts on the intake?

I was having same problem when first installed paxton but they started working a couple days after. If i start getting those codes again in buying the edelbrock victor 2 intake. It fits under hood and strut tower brace.

Thanks everyone for the input.
I ended up picking up a 15 intake with all the IMRC parts and just swapped it.
Payed $120 for the intake took me about 2-3 hours to swap! was really simple and i thought it would be more difficult.
The car now pulls amazing now and im very happy as a shop quoted me 180 in labor + parts!

So you swapped a stock intake, for the same stock intake and the issue went away? Basically something was just broken in it?

Yup im guessing the imrc wend bad. Not really sure exactly what part broke or got stuck. Want to buy the old intake for further examination? Haha

Swapping intakes was an early fix since none of the tuners could figure out how to properly tune the torque tables, cam timing, and imrc settings to be in sync with the procharger/vortech/paxton. Now it seems to be figured out for the most part, but still tricky through mail order tuning.

Well it did go bad a few weeks after i got a updated tune to fix surging. Not sure if something was tweaked and broke the imrc.

Think mine went bad somehow too. I swapped to boss intake and no more issue.

I have an entire thread about this and procharger. Huge thread...

 

[ven377]

Ive read your thread before. I couldn't find anything about the imrc going bad.
i really want a gt350 intake but dang the price is pretty high for the power gain?
