Ok so I finished my install and I am just waiting to datalog etc, but I had a couple of questions and was wondering based on your installs did you find you were missing any parts etc?
Issue #1 No T3 turbine outlet gasket. Did you guys get one of these and if so was it in the turbo box, or packed with everything else? Was it needed? or did you just bolt it up as is? We actually made a gasket from one we had on hand just looked like it needed it, the DP inlet did not look like it would seal without one but without any direct written instructions from MAP, and it being the weekend with no support access, it leaves this as a question.
Issue #2 not enough vacuum line hose to plum WG, Compressor, and BOV.
Issue #3 after you installed your BOV in your hot side charge pipe, and found a vacuum source, what did you do with the harness that was originally plugged into your factory bypass valve? The turbo smart compact shorty BOV comes with a resistor you quick splice into that harness to tell the ecu the valve is still there...
Issue #4 did you guys find you had 4 extra clamps for the charge pipes? I had 4 extras and was not sure why, double clamping something? weird.
I have rechecked the all the hoses vacuum lines everything is very well tight, I even took the pain in the ass time to make sure all clamps were seated and reseated as well as not walking off the tubes etc.
Car is running well boost is good but I am finding I am getting a very small amount of flutter just about max boost from the BOV right before venting though at highway speeds, and it does not hold that max boost it just kind of flutters 20-23PSI and looses power, regardless of the RPMs, not sure if this is it a sign I got to turn the BOV another rotation or two. Unless this is normal. I am not having any boost drops on acceleration or anything at low speeds just highway. I had a Compact shorty BOV prior and it only vented did not make the noises this one with the 4 ports does.
I found the video to be very helpful in general. Oh one last thing, the exhaust. If you went with the full "resonated" or non exhaust, what do you think about it, and the cabin buzzyness? I like the sound from outside the car its very roided out M3 sounding to me; idle is very nice and general driving is good, Highway speeds it still has the tone and noise but its not super volume just present with that buzzy sound to me. I am on the fence with it. It sounds good cruising and rowing the gears, just the in cabin vibration seems excessive, I imagine the smaller mufflers are the blame here. The tone is very deep so I expected some sort of cabin sound. Its not really drone either that is on the highway it does not vibrate or make your ears ring, phone calls and music etc are still good.
Over all very well made kit, just the stuff above. Note item #3 was not an issue neither was the amount of vacuum line as I already had that from my last BOV but was more of a question what did you guys do.
