B-12 seems to be the product of choice to clean the vales. Anyone have experience with CRC GDI Intake Cleaner?

Totally just bought a dual port BOV from eBay. I can’t say it’s tried and true per se, but a few members have run them with high boost without issue. $89 vs $289. Let’s see. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorta stumbled onto this when I was watching a short vid about SWAS. See here. Looks cool and is $75. Need your own tablet/phone and honestly not sure if it will display all the same types of thing an AP would. per their site, it can: Display, graph, and log 90+ real-time parameters...

Saw a bit of griping about eBay downpipes. What’s the worst that can happen aside from ill fitting? Awful welds/poor craftsmanship I suppose. I see some people mention that they are okay if they only last a year. What’s going to make them all of a sudden fail? Cracking in welds is all I can...

Welcome! Now call all your iowa buddies and tell to join. Lonely af in central iowa. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks all. I’ll fix the placement of the check valve and look into a valve cover VTA cap. Will also inspect the lines. JBR OCC came with some stout lines. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

what valve? no linky. i forget which check valve i installed. prolly documented it somewhere.

quick background: bought a CS OCC when car had 450 miles on it. installed with check valve but at the time, installed it after the OCC. this was apparently a no-no and i did not know that at the time. long story short, i blew the top off the OCC and it left me stranded for a few minutes...

What a sad scenario. Hope my turbo stays strong I guess. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting points. I have an OCC and have since 450 miles on the car. The valves are still filthy but that’s expected. I’ll keep the bolt on reserve and see if I need it. If I do it’s a pretty easy thing to swap since it’s on top. I’m surprised that it’s somewhat accessible as most things...

I don’t have any smoking issues that I’m aware of. I read and noticed a trend of needing to add this bolt when switching to a catless dp, which I will be doing. What’s a better pcv valve solution? I’ve seen Damond’s plate but that just appears to let you have a multi-occ setup which I doubt...

I couldn’t really tell if the eBay one was ‘good’ or not. That’s why I got the Damond one. Prolly fine but as I said....got nervous. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did. I actually also bought the Damond one. I got nervous lol. So now I have 2. Oops Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stock turbo here Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

bnoon, as in Brad Noon? is that 'bnoon' bolt sub-par?

Whilst doing research on the downpipe I'm going to install (catless) I ran across a video where the person mentioned that a catless downpipe requires the installation of a replacement turbo banjo bolt. Whether it's required or not I guess is up for debate. However, to prevent smoking and such...

Uhhhhh...oops? So he is really banned? Couldn’t tell if that was a joke or not. What did that guy do? He certainly posted a lot and I haven’t run into any harsh posts of his (or hers, whichever). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

read on the MSF...someone posted that the stock stuff is actually good for 10 year/100k. shit i dunno. i did read some about the mazda stuff (or can buy from ford and it's concentrated i think). well duh. i downloaded the shop manual a long time ago (forgot about that!) and checked it...

may as well bring up another old thread. car has ~48k miles on it so maybe i don't need to change my coolant. though i thought i heard once that it's recommended to change every 100k OR 5 years, which is first. well...i'm at 7 years. so i've read a bit about coolant. when i search on...
