Mountune Turbo Kit in the works
- Thread starter Im_Zee11
- Start date
The fact that Mountune, an outfit that produces power products covered by factory warranty, is doing this reassures me in the 1.6's ability to sustain significant added power over stock. Not that I would expect a bt upgrade to be covered, but a company with OEM credentials has more to lose than to gain from offering a product that could pose engine failures.

^^^Absolutely!
But, it also makes it that much more confusing as well, especially when one adds in the vast multitude of tuners and the MANY different programs/maps they offer.
I just wish I knew WHAT supporting mods I need to do to handle an eventual BT setup, 300 to the wheels properly (IC, cooling, pipes/BOV, exhaust, intakes, etc.), that will NOT 'hurt' the stock turbo's performance until I get to that BT 'leap' point, so that I do not have to do everything twice or more (i.e.; take off the front bumper cover, etc.).![[dunno]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_dunno.gif "Dunno [dunno]")

^^^Thanks! ![[thumb]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumb.gif "Thumbs Up [thumb]")
Can anyone tell me if there is ANY stand alone BOV installed on an aftermarket charge pipe, which could possibly work with the stock turbo (obviously with removing the factory turbo mounted one, and blocking it off), so that I do not have to do this later anyway when going to ANY aftermarket BT setup??
Or, is the ONLY option for now with a factory turbo the boomba factory replacement BOV deal???
IF I want to put one of the already flanged for an aftermarket BOV charge pipes on with the stock turbo setup, are there block off plates for the flange until I go BT (IF an aftermarket BOV CANNOT EVER work with the stock turbo)?
PLEASE have patience with me as this is my very first turbo engine, and I am still learning.
I've ALWAYS had patience with the LSx newbies asking questions about those engines on all of the sites catering to those engines, even when others did not.

A.) Unplug the BPV.
B.) IIRC, MAP has block off plates, though getting one might be tricky. Might be wrong, but I know somebody does and they don't like to give them up.

I ran the TIAL Q BOV with MBRB hot side pipe with stock turbo. it was hooked up to the factory BPV. Worked great, sounded awesome, and even helped with holding boost a little bit.
get in touch with Russell at DHM. He hooked me up with mine, I am sure he will be more than happy to help you with yours if you went this route. [MENTION=4438]M-Sport fan[/MENTION]
