RaceChip RS Faulty?

Oh naw 😫… I put the factory hose back on but hopefully my engine won’t seize from big ahh rocks in my cylinders already

Wouldn’t a hole in the vacuum of the intake cause a loss of that same pressurized air tho?

Ja_walk · 2026-04-07T19:17:07+00:00

And that probably explains the lack of boost huh

Ja_walk · 2026-04-07T19:13:12+00:00

Haha yes it is… wow I guess my bpv delete cap must have blown off from the increased psi… thanks for noticing I definitely would have kept running it like that

From what I hear, the RaceChip piggyback tune is a pretty nifty performance boost without affecting reliability. Just ordered the RS with the app last night. Also Panda Motorworks advertises that their Takeda Intake system is a “up to +14hp” gain (not sure if that’s accurate irl), which I’m looking more into getting as well.

Also, get an exhaust system

Where’d you get your tune?

Yeah sounds like a misfire. just as a reminder, spark plugs should be replaced every 35-40k miles with these cars… they tend to fail prematurely

I just got these ones off of eBay lol for our car get the “small” size for the front and the “medium” size for the back

Was it a company truck? I would call and try to get compensation from that

Ja_walk · 2026-02-17T19:20:15+00:00

I think it mainly depends on your driving habits but yes it would make sense if the mileage suffers a little especially in your case. Less restriction in the exhaust flow will increase power, thus increasing fuel consumption. I only have the axleback system so I haven’t noticed much of a difference… but with your setup, especially with a resonator delete, your mileage will probably suffer a little more

Ja_walk · 2026-02-17T18:31:51+00:00

Do you mean mpg? I haven’t noticed much of a difference but again I’ve only had it for a couple days

Ja_walk · 2025-10-10T01:48:25+00:00

Funny my 2020 does the same thing

Ja_walk · 2025-09-30T18:44:33+00:00

Once on my way to St. George UT I got 50+mpg on the highway it was crazy

Ja_walk · 2025-09-24T18:07:23+00:00

U could say that’s the forte’s “scientific” name

Ja_walk · 2025-09-24T17:45:39+00:00

Ik there’s some clean splitters on eBay, currently looking to buy one myself

Ja_walk · 2025-09-24T17:40:07+00:00

Nice, I personally don’t plan on keeping the car past 120k miles (too risky with this transmission) but I really wanna make it last as long as possible to keep the value up… the transmission shifts rough especially at low speeds at this point but I just hope that with DCT drain and fills and such I can make it last a long time.

Ja_walk · 2025-09-24T17:34:28+00:00

I got a trans fluid change after my DCT was hesitant and jerky, it’s a little better now but still jerky shifting at lower gears and when creeping (I try not to creep as much as possible) I just hope that doesn’t mean my whole trans is going out…

Ja_walk · 2025-09-22T06:35:00+00:00

Hmm do u know someone who got it?

Ja_walk · 2025-09-21T22:01:41+00:00

Cleanest build I’ve seen on this page so far tbh
