Nice. Looks like your evap hose was hitting the hood with the hvi hose. Mine looked worn down some after only 1 day.Here's mine, installed it the other day. Fit and finish were perfect. The silicone tube was also perfect size unlike the one originally included with my Prl HVI.
Yup, that HVI hose needs some redesign. Perhaps I received a faulty one. Although, after sending them photos and such I was told it was ānormalā. I also ran into the issue where the silicone hose included with their HVI was a bit on the short side. My mechanic and I attempted all their ātips and tricksā such as loosening and re-fitting different areas while installing to no avail. My only gripe was that upon several complaints at no point did anyone in their team volunteer to send me a replacement or directly reach out to me. I didnāt really push the issue since I was getting a new silicone hose with the TIP. Nice catch btw!
is there any noticeable gain from this mod with the factory turbo?
The HVI? Or the inlet? My inlet is on the truck for delivery so hopefully it's in hand soon. There was a noticable difference when I switched out the mishimoto hot air intake to the prl hvi. It gave higher readings on VD plus my IAT2 and IAT temperatures were lower, much lower iat2. Intercooler has to work less. Boost builds faster with the hvi and charge pipes, will be slightly quicker with the inlet on as well. I'm sure the titanium inlet will increase airflow even more as well as lower IAT temps. I will be doing a lot of testing this weekend. Temps are supposed to be in the 60s tomorrow so the roads shouldn't be as slippery as long as the road salt has washed away.
That's odd, they have always had prompt and thorough responses to any of my questions. Did you call them directly, email, or even messaged here. Spencer always answers for me. My hose seemed a little short on the inlet side and the evap flange didn't fit well. Once I rotated the hose more inwards towards the engine the space on the inlet was minimal. I bent the metal vapor line by hand down and away and rotated the flange about 45 degrees towards the vapor line and it stopped it from hitting the hood.
Roads have been wet/slippery all week. Today they're pretty dry and it's unseasonally warm out. Managed to get a few pulls in on my way to my friends house, I'll have to check the logs later, haven't been able to get any good data on wether or not my fuel pump is handling it and if I need to lower my tourque targets. Most pulls I have, had a ton of wheelspin where traction control and vsa step in retarding the ignition and lowering boost some. It shows duty jumping between 95%-85%. Tonight should be able to log some good 3rd and 4th gear pulls.
oh, the inlet lol
Nice, I'm on the fence on this or the ridiculously overpriced rampage one...I just don't like all the pieces that PRL has done with the inlet and intake.
