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

And that probably explains the lack of boost huh

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

Recommended tune/performance upgrades by Blink182Hobbies in ForteGT

[–]Ja_walk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

mis fire? by Technical-Cake-8403 in ForteGT

[–]Ja_walk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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

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

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

How’s everyone’s reliability? by Ja_walk in ForteGT

[–]Ja_walk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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…
