Thanks. I'm not certain on the kinds of gains that might be had out of it, but if its anything like the ford, it should be good. Check out this article:

My thoughts on the stock tune, I'm not sure what it will do. The stock tune obviously has a compensation factor built in for the crap factory part. So not real sure how it will react when something that actually seals is put on there.

also, @ 9:55....if that was what I think it was....AWESOME!!!!    
Edit: just finished the vid. amazing. with boosted cars, that leak issue I've always heard of it on certain cars. the fact you just more or less exposed the problem and have a solution to make sure the boost you are commanding is being supplied without extra heat and on a more precise spec...no doubt some of the LTG guys will be in the 11's come 2018 with very few mods. purely amazing!
looking forward to the LFX project as well. maybe theres something i can apply to the LGX. gonna try and tinker and do some stuff to see if I can get my 13.4 into the 12's by the end of 2018 when the autoX seasons ends. |
It would be great if the forum had a fabrication/machining area. Maybe it should be suggested?
The more I think about it, I may have some LGX stuff in the future.

You're probably right. But I don't think there are any decent "factory" parts that would work any better though. Probably just went with what was available.

I'm curious if there's so much bypass and it's resolved what thatd do on IATs (perhaps a better spot on the turbo map with the fix and less work for the turbo).
As the air is metered and just goes bypass I'm guessing it'd never show up on logs of rpm/maf/iat/load comparisons, really the only way it'd appear is IATs?
Friggin fascinating.
lol.

I'll have to do some research on what can be logged in regards to the turbo. maybe there is something that can be logged in HPT that may show something.
So on Friday, I forgot the stock part on my car at home as I was in a hurry. so I had to drive back home. As I drove I decided to do a "vlog". It was an hour long, so i'll probably break it up a bit into subjects I talked about and upload them randomly. I put one up part up today, I basically talk about my old Chevelles, show some pictures of them, and talk about the current 72 Chevelle I have and the future LS swap. This isn't nearly as entertaining as the last couple videos, but if you want to hear about my past chevelles and plans for the current one, feel free to watch (or just listen, as all I'm doing is driving and talking...)
