Better explanation: The hot side carries hot charge air from the turbo to the intercooler, and the cold side takes the now much cooler air from the intercooler to the throttle body.

That’s the piping from the turbos to the intercooler. The cold side is from the intercooler to the throttlebody.

Dealership legal stuff. Any TTY (torque to yield) bolts are technically one time use...I’d say virtually every one of us that’s installed springs has reused the bolts. Hell...alignment shops aren’t replacing them when they loosen them again to do their work.

You’re doing hot side piping also, right?

Yes. I got Nick in touch with K&N for final fit test and dyno test. After they’re done they’ll have to do the CARB testing for an EO number then they’re shooting for a Q3 release.

I think it would look cool like this with a massive cone filter in the big open area. You could throw a rubber elbow on the stock snorkel end and aim it at the filter to push outside air that way. Don’t laugh...I spent hours on CAD doing this...feel free to use the idea though. lol

Some light reading. https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/epa-tampering-policy-epa-enforcement-policy-vehicle-and-engine-tampering-and-aftermarket?fbclid=IwAR1FHLrCPYn1Yu749aZ0G6qxPNrsvDjAliiOUcyOzwk2RV9Rum59LeDvmYc

As soon as I finish washing I hit the whole car with my DeWalt cordless leaf blower...it’s awesome for drying out those weird spots like the grille.

My guess is the tuners just need a bit to digest whatever new regulations are being thrown at them so they can get a plan together to stay in business but be in compliance too. I have friends that got high 6-low 7 figure fines from the EPA for the diesel stuff. Can’t blame these guys one bit for...

They hit gas shops pretty hard about the same time. SCT got hit really hard and made some changes in the name of self preservation. I helped start one of the biggest high performance diesel forums out there years ago...I was heavily into diesel performance stuff...we tried like hell to talk...

I’m talking about the oem design. Easy to build replacement parts with a car to test fit each piece. Pain in the ass to build production line jigs to get kits out the door AND make sure they fit.

Everything is so damn convoluted on these things. I don’t know how you even build a jig to do these production line style.

Neither of the things you list are BOV’s. They’re simple VTA spacers.

I’d like to see pricing on both.

I hope they’re building jigs for all this stuff.

Again, the wheels don’t need to be changed.

I’d get a second opinion considering not only will your 20” wheels work but so will 18’s. The PIU models have the same brakes as the ST...they’re just not red. Hard to take anything else that dealer says as fact.

Check the mufflers. If they’re shiny you have a Borla exhaust.

That’s what I did.

It doesn’t “bury the bolt”. That bolt is up high and hard to reach but still readily accessible.
