here is it

 

[Gstclipse69]

Thats a turbo xs bov and yes its in the right spot.
The bov will hold up fine, you're going to need to upgrade that intercooler piping however.

 

[scorpio87m1]

would a geddy be better tho

 

[Gstclipse69]

The "greddy" bov isn't any better than the one you have. As long as it isnt leaking there won't be any problem. Put your money into hard intercooler piping and that will be a difference you can feel.

 

[scorpio87m1]

ok thanks bossdo u know where i can get a good intercooler pipe.

 

[PIMking]

I have HKS but you can get em on classifieds on this site or ebay. if you get ebay the pipe ends dont have a lip most of the time so the clamps can slip causing a boost leak.

 

[93_tsi_fwd]

get the RRE UICP or might as well get an FMIC kit if you plannin on 300hp.

For the bov, ill hold up fine. If you want to make it harder and hold more boost, just unscrew the top part off, take out the spring and put some spacers in there, then put everything back.

ok u know stock the car has 210hp but only 160 at the wheels how much horse power do i have to get to have 300 at the wheels

 

[stefanOst]

300 - 210 = 90?

or if you prefer,

300 - 160 = 140

 

[silver bullit]

ok how much is 300 hp at the wheels tho

ok u know stock the car has 210hp but only 160 at the wheels how much horse power do i have to get to have 300 at the wheels

300 - 210 = 90?

or if you prefer,

300 - 160 = 140

WTF


210 hp at the flywheel on a front drive equals to 18-25% power loss, its 25-35% on an awd. This varies with Wheels, brake, tires. etc.

 

[boosted86]

again, to hit 300wheel on a dynojet(at least) you will need the following at the min;
-a turbo that flows more than 500cfm
-injectors that flow at least 510cc
-piggy back tuning device(maf-t, s-afc, dsmlink, etc)
-afpr
-decent tuning abilities
-higher flowing exhaust
-boost controller(manual)

 

[scorpio87m1]

i am sorry guys i didnt read it . well what i was trying to say was do i need to do that path thing if i want 300whp.

 

[turboking15]

yes, that path is proven to work time and time again. your horsepower goal just determines how far down the path you "walk".

 

[RoasT BeeF]

I recommend DEJON | Powerhouse for your intercooler piping needs.

25%-35%? That seems really high to me. If drivetrain loss was lets say 30%, right in the middle of that range, then stock 2g's should dyno 147-ish awhp, stock Evo's should dyno 195-ish awhp. Those numbers just seem too low to me.

 

[No_Skillz]

Get rid of that BOV. TurboXS BOV's are junk because they leak right from the factory.

 

[No_Skillz]

Those people probably don't know that TurboXS bov's leak. You can go for a used bov from a 1g which is the cheapest and is of decent quality. I personally use Greddy RS which has suited me for the past 2 years.

gst's and gsx's/evos have difrrent drivetraine losses, gst only have to move 2 wheels, while the others move 4. so yes drivetraine loss for gsx's/evos is around 22-25% and gst are at 15%. usally.

scorpio87m1 - Please use proper grammar when posting in the tech forums. That includes proper spelling, punctuation, and capitalization.

It's tough enough to diagnose a problem with a vehicle on-line without having to decipher poor grammar and internet speech.
