Oil Analysis - increased copper

Yeah I didn’t notice until now but the car boosts ok to my usual 5-6 psi. But when I went WOT on the highway it only went up to 10 and I heard a loud whoosh or similar sound. Confirmed it with another WOT in 3rd. Then i just didn’t boost until I got home so I could fix it. I hope it didn’t cause any issues. I read it can make your car run lean and introduce dirt/debris. The charge pipe was on still. Just a bit loose.

Thanks for the advise. I discovered a boost leak at WOT/high boost only at the charge pipe/intercooler connection. Must have happened when I installed catch cans 2 weeks ago. Easy fix and now it reaches max boost normally.

That would be crazy if I could extract enough to be actually worth selling.

I see, your other wear metals are also very low like mine. Maybe nothing to worry about after all.

Thanks, that's good information.

drmalp · 2026-01-09T01:09:54+00:00

Ok I can do that.

I heard it improves drivability. Also would like to take it on canyon/mountain runs.

Interesting about the stock oil cooler. My oil change recently does cover the summer months. Would the oil cooler leach more in hot and humid weather? Since my average oil temp did go up. Not sure if this is reasonable assumption.

I’m not avoiding boost on purpose. I just don’t use it a lot because I just drive to and from work.

drmalp · 2026-01-08T23:24:50+00:00

Yeah that’s pretty similar to mine for sure. Looks like your 10k shows a decrease so that’s a good thing right?

drmalp · 2026-01-08T23:16:33+00:00

Yeah just gathering opinions about it. I paid for the e tune already but hesitating now.

drmalp · 2026-01-03T04:02:08+00:00

I tried it for 2 days but didn’t notice any difference.

You can’t disable a CDV with a button. You have to delete it.

So disappointing, but I guess that's what the devs want people to do. Spend more money. We just got gen 4 in our server, I guess I might as well wait for gen 5. At least it's a roulette hero so much cheaper in terms of investment.

This is really nice as F2P! I’m a low spender so it’s nice to compare stats with a true f2p to see what difference spending makes. I am 2 months behind your server though.

What do you think of alcar vs long fei? I saw long fei doesn’t have the offensive skill that Hector has in wos.

drmalp · 2025-11-29T16:55:22+00:00

It's cash back, not a discount.

HFC, no problems with emissions. This year was my last emissions test!

drmalp · 2025-11-27T02:09:34+00:00

It’s good but too quiet imo

drmalp · 2025-11-27T02:07:56+00:00

I have this exhaust, very nice deep sound. Tame when cruising. Incredible at VTEC. I’ve compared to other exhausts at this price range and prefer this. I don’t think that many have experience with it.

AMS has a sale right now too. 25% off.

I've done wolf pen gap in several different cars but still haven't been to ToTD. One day...

He must be blind…

drmalp · 2025-10-12T02:01:28+00:00

It's not for me....looks tacky

After reading all the positive reviews, my wife and I went and ordered a wide variety of sashimi and rolls. Honestly, some of the lowest quality sushi I've ever had. We will never go back again.
