Intake, ldp, exhuast concern

[AlfredoGonzalez]

Just got the intakes installed and heat exchanger aswell. The stock filter was quite restrictive now that Im seeing the way my car performs. The car runs perfectly fine, no boost creep or anything but the turbos spool much much faster and easier. Its like they can finally breathe a bit. Low end torque sub 2500 rpm is less I can feel it but it makes the car feel more progressive because I feel top end is stronger. Also the turbos maintain maximum boost for longer especially in higher gears. Overall im satisfied with the Ams intakes because if I want that intake sound I just use a suction cup to pull off the transparent glass part of the box very easily and then it becomes a semi-open box and lets off some intake noise.

I'm running lower downpipes, intake and intercoolers all without a tune right now with no problems. My understanding is you only have issues with full downpipes

You running exhaust aswell? No boost creep?

Could you post a sound clip of the exhaust and the intakes? I have the same exhaust in a box in my garage and I'm interested to hear what it sounds with LDP and intakes

I'm running an Apexi exhaust. As for boost creep.... i'm gonna be honest and say I don't know what that is or how i'd test for it. My car knowledge extends to the brakes only at this point but I haven't had any issues overall with the engine/turbos. I'll get a tune after my warranty period is over.

Sure. Will post when I get the chance.

Oh no worries. If you can, send a full throttle pull with the boost guage on the tach. Boost creep is basically when the boost on your turbos exceed the intended target boost beyond what the ecu can mitigate. So if you see boost is going far beyond the set boost target for the car (around 14.5-16psi) and then experience throttle closure or boost cuts when going full throttle then thats boost creep.
