FINALLY we got around to fixing my intercooler piping. And, we did a custom cat-back exhaust; kept the cats, deleted the resonator and muffler. Straight pipe back to a magnaflow tip.

Finally, I topped it off today with a Revo Stage 2 chip.

And all I can say is ... WOW.

Such an incredible gain. I was just planning on getting the revo free trial, but once I had that, I knew I couldn't go without it.

If you have $500 to invest, get that chip! I'm sure others can agree

 

I have revo & I don't like that it get's hotter than normal. I wish i went uni. But why did you get the stage 2 if you don't have a downpipe?

 

gets hotter than normal?

 

i think stage 2 is just for the intercooler no?

 

intake and turboback

 

winter yours gets hotter too? i have my car with a revo chip too and mine gets hotter then notmal too and i can't figure out why. always done it. i still do it and i got a new head valves water pump coolant of course and a cooler termastat = can't spell lol. mine doesnt do it in the winter tho.

 

He suggested to go with the Stage 2 since i have a catback and intercooler.

 

Got pics of the new piping?

 

Yea, anytime I drive it I come to a stop (idle) the temp goes up a bit. I did new valve cover gasket since it was leaking oil, time belt plus termo, etc.

Stage two asks for a 4 bar fpr, test pipe & front mount. I believe there is more.

 

probably has an air bubble in the system. Try letting the car idle and come up to temp with the cap off the coolant res and see if that helps
