Tuner said PRL HVI and TIP were a bad combo

[Higgo8]

I'll add to this.. complete horse crap what that guy is talking about. I went from a top brand carbon fibre intake with the PRL titanium inlet pipe. Went to a PRL HVI and it made 10wbhp and 14wtq with a warmer ambient temp. This was done by a well known and trusted UK tuner, have dyno proof as well!

Agreed. No issues with the TIP and the HV PRL intake. Too much air flow? Something doesn't add up. I have an eTune by Dereck. Car runs great on those and no issues tuning with either. Tuner doesn't know how to tune if that was really their statement.

Derf tuning here in South Florida! He does etune also.

His dyno numbers ready abnormally high compared to other dynos here in south Florida using the same cars.

He uses several different dynos...

..and who cares? I sure don’t care about the final #’s. I just want optimal/safe performance. A dyno is merely a tool.

Derf tuned mine also....370/380...very happy..

My personal experience.

The PRL HVI Intake ran great on a basemap. Once the tuner pushed things the car started acting up. I made 366whp/355wtq. At 22psi Later on I decided to add meth injection and the problems with airflow got worse. At this point the tuner started telling me about my fuel pump going bad. I replied there is no signs on the datalog that indicates the fuel pump was going bad. Im talking about one of the best tuners worldwide. Long story short I stopped getting support from the tuner. Got ahold of a different tuner and tell him about my issue. Went to the road to street tune the car and he tuned the AFMv tables and problem disappeared. Went back to the dyno and made 405whp/400wtq. Bad fuel pump huh? Smh.

So my advice to the OP find a tuner who knows what he is doing. Not all CTR’s experience this. My car specially hates the PRL HVI but after tuning the sensor it just loves it.

I am also tuned by Derek at IMW and have great success. I used to have the PRL HVI and recently upgraded to the Eventuri intake + CF inlet. The new setup proved to be more efficient and less boost was needed to hit the requested torque. Highly recommend Derek as he's one of the most if not the most experienced tuner for this platform.

Just a question, is this guys name Diirk, or Derek?
I think he tuned my EVO. If it is indeed the same guy, I can attest he's great. I had a HP target, but also had a request that he keep the curve as smooth as possible, even if that meant coming up short of my 550whp goal on a stock block, while not running more than 30psi.

He got me to 548, @ 30psi, and it's oh sooo smooth. I heard he was still doing tuning, but didn't know where exactly.
