    big IC and hard pipes are they worth it running on a stock boost?
    Was really thinking about it..... any thoughts? is it too much much flow?

    the hard pipes you wont notice so much, the BFMIC you will. The BFMIC gets rid of the stock heatsoak crap.

    That is what i was thinking. more boost i think would make a bigger difference. I really like the MPx set up that they have now with the real crash bar replacement. I just am not looking foward to taking off teh bumper.

    ^Im with him. I also have the hard pipes and taking the bumper off is easy. I put my car jack stands and took off my front wheels. Makes it alot easier to get to the bolts along the fender. At least for me at least lol.

    First things first. Back to the basics. Did you boost leak test the car yet? a good 80% of the time it fixes lose of boost issues.

    If the car is on the factory WGA stock boost is 12-15.

    Test the car then report back. If you still have the problem get a pic of the IC and your setup and post it.
