LGM/Ekapol Intake Pipes

Ekapol, you have PM

Question 2: Will a BO valve cure the overboost problem from a larger exhaust ? I know this is not their primary function, but HKS site says; "Though many vehicles incorporate factory by-pass valves, they are often undersized and quickly are beyond their capable operating range as airflow levels are increased. "

You mean bleed off excess air to reduce manifold pressure after the ECU has measured its volume & temperature?
Sorry, you'll just end up confusing your ECU...which will not do you much good.

Quick update. Getting there. Oil lines are done. Hoses and pipes are done. Just need some more clamps.


In the pictures: parts for Turbo, Intake, and BOV projects.

[Enright]

What tunes can you play on it?

BTW - I got a credit note from DHL today after that ridiculous overcharge that they tried to hit me with.

£48.68-27.39=21.29, yay!

On New Years Eve? Asking a gorgeous flight attendant in a party town like SF?
Of course, I'm online reading the question. I guess I'll go back to my own celebration.

Happy 2009, LECers!

Status update?
I haven't gotten replies to PMs to either LGM or Ekapol, so I'm suspicious that my PMs may not be working. Has anyone received their intake pipes from this run? It looks like LGM is well into her next project, so I'm wondering if mine got misplaced somehow.

[drasicjazz]

same here still looking out for it...

[lotusgirlmarie]

I appologize profusely!!!! I recieved all of the pipes beck from my man at DHL earlier this week. Apparently DHL has laid off 80% of it's USA workforce. He was one of them. I'll be using a different carrier from now on. Main reason for going DHL was he got a discount on shipping which I passed on to the end recipient.

I'm on call today and litterally just stepped out of the shower. I'll jump right on getting these out as I have a flight again tomorrow. This is my first day back home in a few weeks. Again I appologize.

[drasicjazz]

no worries; worser off is you man a dhl...

[lotusgirlmarie]

Yep. He's been trying to find a new job. He was in broadcasting before DHL and is trying to go back. He coined one of my favourite phrases,"... I hate work but I love my job.". 'nuff said. BTW, for those who know, he was the one responsible for shipping all of the LGM rollbars a few years back and getting us quite abut off in shipping costs. Took him out to quite a few nice dinners for that.

Ekapol is coming over in a minute and we're off to find a decent shipper. Should be fun.

[drasicjazz]

let me help ...
USPS

[lotusgirlmarie]

Ummmmmm. No. FedEx it is. All were shipped today. Only the turbo packages remain as I'm still waiting on some custom stainless bolts.

[rip]
