What's your SI looking like today?

[rhino]

you talking about the hose just above the corrugations on the TIP?
i disconnected a total of zero hoses in my install... (other than the charge pipes which are just big hoses) did you upgrade your TIP at the same time as your fmic?

Naa @rhino is talking about the short silicone elbow that connects to the intake manifold. We did the charge pipes. That thing was a bishhhh to get on and it actually popped off on me a few weeks later ?

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind!

ya that stupid little thing was a bitch idk how it was that stuck on but it sure in hell was

Oh, that one?! Shoot, that was easy, just pull. ? I thought you were talking about the throttle body-upper cold-side inlet pipe silicone L-connector. That one was the biggest pain of the whole install, I'd say, shoving the red intake pipe far enough in. Damn, I had to lube up big time! ?

Anywho, got it all done! Thanks again to @Unity Performance for the parts! Installed Vland LED Headlights, Mishi intercooler, and did some small fix-OEM-crap repairs while I had everything apart (e.g., mixing the part of the top bumper garnish that seems to separate from the larger bumper itself). No boost leaks, as far as I can tell, and the intercooler was immediately noticeable by throttle response. Had the usual 'parking brake issue, VSA issue' warning lights that happen after unplugging sensors (I had to turn on the car while those sensors were unplugged to test the headlight wiring, and the ECU clearly did not like that), but no engine-related codes are anything. In fact, with the TSP Stage 1 tune, the car feels stronger than ever now!

That M logo I was trying to get rid of was barely noticeable on install, and not noticeable unless specifically looking for it overall.

ah lmao i figured out what he meant
that elbow wasn’t that hard tbh i just tugged up and down and back and forth and it popped off
the thing i worried most about was if the clamp was tight enough since it’s tough to reach back behind the motor where the clamp needs to be
no boost leaks yet although i think my head gasket might be going… my misfire thread i’ll post soon assuming i can get the car to misfire again
