Do you even Kelvin?

I just put out the trash in shorts and flips flops.

Hoping to do this over the weekend. We will see what happens

I'll be doing this mod soon as well, and this cat is tripping me out.

Must find boost leak (think its a bad IM gasket letting air escape through the pcv). Must do this mod. MUST BEAT GTi! *eye twitch*

off the wall question: could i tap into this with a "T" instead of the "barrel" and add the extra line for a boost gauge? Or am I completely way off on where the boost line would tap into?

Yes. the line from the BPV to the solenoid is the one you want for the boost gauge.

2 birds one stone, love it, thanks!

just did this to my auto cruze. still checking it out...the only thing i noticed was i seem to have lost 3psi. but it could be the cold

I'll check this out, once the windchill is out of the negative numbers, a couple weeks anyways.

Yes. That is what I did.

If you lost boost, you need to check everything and verify you did it correctly. If anything, you will gain 1-2psi.
The cold air would make gaining boost more probable no losing it.

Did this to my Auto... I can't note any performance gain however its WAY WAY smoother shifting and accelerating for me... Thank you so much for posting this mod! Just gotta tighten things up a little more and I will be done.

See definition of performance.

 

[Quinton Exler]

Can't notice any power gain... sorry.

I don't want to make any premature conclusions, but I saw a .1 mpg gain after doing this mod.

I've been doing the same commute for a month and my mpg has been absolutely locked at 29.1 (don't laugh, my speedo is calibrated for the MZO still so the DIC is estimating low).

Well this morning it suddenly climbed to 29.2! Hard to think its coincidental.

 

[Quinton Exler]

Mine usually says 29 on dash... but I get about 45ish, will look for gains.

I'll edit my first post to say "Results may vary"...
