It's the heat cycles that cause the plastic to get brittle and crack over time. There is no right answer for when to replace it. If you're not tracking or upgrading the turbo it's really a non-issue
Thread is beyond saving but you’ll get 500whp without upgrading the turbo if you do:
- ethanol sensor
- catless dp
- custom flex tune
there must be at least flex fuel somewhere near you. Better to go this route than run shitty pump 91 on an aftermarket turbo with an aggressive map
Any stock location turbo isn’t really going to change the look of your engine bay, at least for anything with stock/similar sized housings like the pures.
You can make 500whp with e40 on OTS MHD tunes. No reason to get an upgraded turbo if you’re not planning on pushing above 550 (stock turbos fail around 600).
You can run 93 on the OTS maps just fine. We would need to see logs to see why the car is slowing itself down on the high rpm’s. The guy above is just mentioning that the quality of fuel can be one of the reasons
I ran jb4 for almost a year but just got an unlock with mhd, and I’d strongly recommend skipping jb4 if you have the money and want to maximize gains
I’ve only seen a couple people mention their experience with MHD NLS and it seems like the majority have lost more boost using it than shifting normally. What is everyones experience with it?
If they already blended for e30 and then were doing a 93 tune, wouldn't that 93 tune be somewhat obscured? I can't imagine they would've fully burned off that e30 and that just seems like it'd be a backwards approach
I can't remember what the default biases are but definitely lower the boost failsafe to 22 until you start adapting the tune to your car and get logs to make sure everything looks healthy
