    BATS/Flow Treadstone TR6

    I am looking to install a Treadstone TR6 on my speed (already have a ‘decent’ front mount on).. I am running stock turbo and seeing about 10- 15 degrees above ambient when cruising and then temps drop to about 5-8 over ambient when I’m boosting. Has anyone ran the TR6 on stock turbo? What were...

    Oil Catch Can - Venting Crankcase Pressure ?

    I bought my pu with a Corksport catch can setup already on the car, but I have been reading a lot about venting crankcase pressure and the use of vented setups. I am currently on k04 and 20psi, wondering if I need to upgrade my setup ? Someone suggested to add a vented breather cap and a check...

    Genpu FMIC efficiency vs turbo size

    I have recently gotten a custom bar and plate Intercooler built which fits beneath my oem pu crashbar (23.5” x 7.25” x 3”) > it’s similar to a TR6 or Cobb core.. will the flow rate/pressure drop be suitable if/when I upgrade to a CST4 ? It seems like most people with mid-frame turbo upgrades run...

    Genpu CPE Intercooler Shroud ?

    I mistakenly purchased a gen 1 CPE Intercooler and now have a shroud that does not seal at all. Unfortunately, I was left with a seller who would not accept a return... I was wondering if anyone can help me with some information on the genpu shroud so I can have one machined for me. For the...

    Genpu: max fmic intercooler thickness ?

    About to have an Intercooler cut height-wise to fit beneath my crash bar because where I live the only cores that fit are only 2.5” thick. Would 4” be too thick to fit behind the stock grill ? My options are 3” or 4”.. do not plan on upgrading my turbo for the foreseeable future (but could go...

    Solid Shifter Bushings Dimensions

    I am a Speed 3 owner down in South Africa and aftermarket support here is an absolute NIGHTMARE. Fortunately I am from the US and have family back there (that bring me goodies), but right now with the current world situation I won't be getting any upgrades for the forseeable future. That being...

    Genpu Seatbelt Retracting Issue

    For the last month or so I have been having big issues with my driver side seatbelt. It hardly retracts and requires that I manoeuvre it manually to go all the way. When I take it off at a parking spot, the belt hangs pretty badly. Has anyone else had this problem ? Does anyone know how I fix it ?

    Operating temperature ? Your habits/method ?

    Hello everyone, I have been playing a bit of a guessing game when it comes to getting my genpu to temperature when driving it. I have an accessport v3, and someone suggested that once the coolant temp reaches 160 I can start getting into boost. I often get into a tiny bit of boost for a pull or...

    2012 Focus ST seats in a genpu speed ?

    Looking into swapping out my front seats for something more supportive. I like the idea of Focus ST seats for daily comfortability combined with better bolstering (don't worry, I plan on upholstering over any ST logo). Has anybody ever attempted to do this ? I envision some custom bracket work...

    Bang for Buck: Transmission Mount vs. Short Shift Kit

    Getting reallly sick of my transmission at this stage. The shifts are pretty notchy, not especially precise and just all around sloppy. I have an insert in my stock RMM and am waiting for my damond motorsports RMM to arrive (so perhaps that will help?). I'm just trying to find out whether I will...

    Genpu Cold Air Intake Heat Shield vs. No Heat Shield

    Hello everyone, I am currently in the process of getting my CAI and I was wondering what people's opinions are about an intake with a heat shield and with no heat shield. I've noticed in a lot of videos of our cars, especially in Tuned by Nishan's vids (for example), most people seem to run open...

    Basic Wire Tuck ?

    Hello everyone, I'm looking to do a wire tuck on my genpu Speed 3 but want to do it as simple as I possibly can. Is there a way I can tuck away some wires and clean things up without soldering and all that jazz ? I saw a photo online and it looked as though this person did a pretty simple diy...

    Safe levels for BNR S3 on stock block ?

    Hello all, I am considering getting a BNR s3 on my stock block. Was originally scared of upgrading turbo on stock internals, but have heard it can be safe if the torque is delivered in a certain way and boost is kept at a conservative level ? Does anyone have any experience with tuning their bnr...

    Genpu Speed 3 under route vs. over route Intercooler piping

    I am going to upgrade to a fmic finally and unsure about going with under routed or over routed piping. I would really love the clean engine bay and shorter air pathway of the under routing, but am curious about how much of a difference it’s going to make? Are the benefits worth the extra pain...

    Hello all, I would like to put some hubcentric spacers on my genpu to make my wheels sit completely flush (or as close as humanly possible). I am sitting on completely stock wheels+tires+suspension. Does anyone have any experience with this ? I have heard so many mixed answers..
