ER Charge Pipe

Chris_B · 12-27-2016, 01:56 AM

Curious as if I really needed the optional Turbo to Intercooler pipe kit?

Mild tune. Probably ending up FBO+ JB4 Stage 2, Map1 91/93 for daily use.

If the stock pipe will hold, I'd rather go Charge Pipe + Intake on this round of purchasing.

Thoughts?

Turbo to FMIC boost pipe is not essential for map2 and pump gas

perfect, I didn't think so.

Thank you!

91 is also not good for map2
JB4 is JB4, not JB4 Stage2 btw

Has anyone found the stock turbo to IC pipe a weak point at higher levels of power? Would it be something people would consider mandatory if running a PS2 for example?

Not mandatory at this time, it is always a good idea to change it when getting an upgraded intercooler since it makes install easier

+1 on Mikes advice above. I swapped out both boost and charge pipes when I switched to Wagner evo2 comp FMIC
