Thanks for the info.. my last car it was easy to just disconnect the return hose to the intake to VTA and just point the hose toward the ground and it would blow off pretty nicely. Some guys removed the hose completely and it was twice as loud blowing right off the stock BOV/DV... But ya, I'm debating whether to just do hot side pipe, replace all pipes, replace IC, etc. I'm still waiting to see what charge temps and power is like once it gets hot this summer but so far it hasn't looked too bad, from just a few degrees above atmosphere to no more than 15 above and no major loss of power while in the low 80's... I'm sure that will change once it hits close to 100, but that's also pretty rare here, hence why I'm considering just hotside or full piping replacement. A lot of people here don't realize that our stock FMIC really isn't bad compared to most stock small square ones that most cars have... The drop-in I have is from Mountune, which is made by Greenfilter, which is pretty much a copy of a regular K&N, so very thin compared to the factory 2" think paper filter, I'm thinking a DV+ with hotside pipe would be the perfect amount of sound for me, I'm kind of an old fart here at 46, lol...
But, to be back right on topic, I'm VERY impressed with Stratified tune, $75 well spent, I paid for their TC, and is enabled by default, I just have to remember to hit the button for Sport mode... Other mods to come to go along with this setup is the $89 Pierce front bar and RMM and I think I'll be happy... As a dad I can't blow all my money on a new turbo, etc., and that's fine as this great tune really, really helps, I can't believe how fast I get up to, uhm, "Texas interstate speeds", LOL...
