36hrs OT this check, may be pulling the trigger.
Damn that’s ALOT of OT! Hell yeah do it, treat yourself 👍🏽. I been trying to buy something monthly, nothing over the top but a few hundred $200-$400 if it’s more expensive I wait a little longer. Just pulled the trigger on the Beat Sonic AMP 😊
This is the beginning…….another month it’ll be 30-40 in a week. Gotta get it while I can. Got a few more good years in me. Hahahaaaaa! I’m not making big purchases anymore so it’ll be a piece at a time.
Thanks for the tips, I have the intake and inlet I haven’t installed yet.
Sounds like something is disconnected. Did this happen immediately after you started the car? Double check the MAF connector. Unseat it and plug it back in making sure it clicks into place. Double check vacuum lines. Finally, remove the negative battery terminal, wait a minute, and put it back. Let me know how you make out.
I had the same problem (reinstalled the same parts 6x 💀). The picture instructions for the vacuum lines connected to the solenoid on the blow off valve pdf is wrong. Follow the diagram for the lines shown in the same pdf not the pictures. The only issues I had with the forge system were for the BOV. I haven’t experienced anything wrong with the turbo inlet or air intake. Hope this helps
I checked to see if anything was disconnected. Everything was fine. I really took my time and tied things down and zip tied it all really well.
wait...is this incorrect? Did I miss your post about this? Because this is what I did and it was the instructions on the website!
Oh, I see it now. I didn't see this message. Apologies. But yeah, I followed the diagram exactly. It all made sense to me when I put it all together. The pictures show something else, but I followed the diagram you posted below.
OMG....I double checked the MAF and it was fine. I unplugged it and plugged it back in. All seemed well. But then I took the negative terminal out...waited a minute...then put it back. When I started the car...just the normal warning about temperatures came on (this one always happens) So all the warnings went away.
Sweet! Glad it worked out.
My guess is price.
After all the parts (Jose's and stuff) aren't they the same?
Meh, not sure. I thought the Eventuri stuff was $1500+ I understand it performs well, but some of us don't need/want carbon fibre when another material could be used to make a product cheaper. Parts for the GRC are not quite as stupidly priced as they are for a C8, but they're getting there.
You are talking about the air inlet part that goes into the bottom of the airbox, when you are referring to the snorkel piece? I installed the upper airbox and no fitment issues. but yes that other part, the air inlet, It fits terribly. I ended up zip tying the bracket to try to make it more secure, as the one push pin deal doesn't cut it. Also, the foam was a weak point, seems like it did not hold up bc the inlet tube doesn't fit the greatest. This created squeaks after 3 weeks or so. Also, vacuum line rubs on it which also makes squeaks.
I remember reading about the CEL codes with the Eventuri. I don't want to deal with the headache of it all. Also, I like that forge uses the bottom half of the stock intake. I thought that was cool. But yeah...mostly about the known CEL code with the Eventuri.
