Any benefits or a waste of money? Are the power gains worth the moola?

Just readin' up on it and looking at Grimmspeed.

Chris (Substitude), I see you got one.. pending installation. What do you know about it?

Does anyone have theirs installed and what are your comments.

TIA!

 

depends on what you have done to the car. if youre just stage 2 it wont help much. if youve upgraded the turbo it will be worth the $150. pm me if youre looking for one.

 

I think I am @ stage 3, according to Cobb's definition..

Yes, i am looking to eek out a lil mo from my small enjin - while keeping the stock internals.. trying to get ready for Jarrad's tune in a couple of months.

 

I wasn't going to do it as my original plans "only" called for going with the vf39 that I had picked up. Things changed & since I'm going with a larger turbo it became apparent that the tgv deletes would be well worth the money (especially since I'll have the intake manifold off anyway).

I don't recall exactly what kind of gains I'll get with that specific mod, but it just made perfect sense to do it. I was planning on keeping the project under $1K, but that's out the window with the bigger turbo, injectors, fuel pump, tgv deletes, boost control solenoid, etc.

 

I have the grimmspeed deletes and there work is really good, very smooth and all, no turbulence at all...I would also recommend there core return system. check your pm...

 

When you say they work really good.. what exactly do you mean? better top end? do you lose bottom end as a tradeoff? How about starting the car.. I've rread on some cars, TGVs don't behave very well on normal driving but kicks butt on spirited driving.. comments?

Just replied to your PM.

 

There's actually no reason not to do them with a large compressor. It's all about time and cash. If you have both, they increase airflow and in the hands of a good tuner that means horespower. How dramatic is dependent once again on the tuner and the potential flow of the compressor and turbine.


The driveability issues that people have are from doing them without a remap; in other words, it's nothing Jarrad can't handle.

 

Ask Chibby, he should be able to steer you in the right direction.

Reid! Was just waiting for you to post and reply..

I don't know if my compressor will be large enough.. but it is larger than my last one.

So you are sayin'there isn't a downside to having the deletes done and installed?
You already know my car's setup.. what you think?

 

sorry.. 'chibby'?

 

I agree.

Check this out:



I got my pnp exhaust manifold from them too.

 

I totally agree with reid-o, now reid-o when you going to do my open source to fix my idle...

 

hooooo... dang.. nice work..

does the pnp manifld have the crosspipe? any pics?

any gains or benefits with the pnp manifold setup vs. stock?

 

very nice got the same ones and installed them is very easy, I also got my intake manifold p-n-p from grimm and everything matches...

 

I've seen Reid-o work on substitude's open source files.. and alI see is a blurry mouse and fingers all over the keyboard.. it's really a cool experience!
