tbh i'm kind of surprised more people haven't bought the hpa manifold. i planned on getting one this winter when it (hopefully) goes on sale. just to tap for meth though. i'll probably never pursue a 5th fuel injector.
:word:Because it's a crap product.
The casting is so bad people have had boost leaks through the manifold itself.
Also who's got the best throttle body meth spacer? Talked with JR and I can't swing DPI with an engine build going on at the same time. Unless I whore myself out.
Guess next year will be DPI meth with the Integrated manifold.
Pulled my dv yesterday to find out why it's not working and found half the o-ring on the dv+ piston was gone and it was mounted backwards. I guess I've had a slight boost leak this whole time.

Closed shut until about 2.5k RPM. You can hold them open by disconnecting the arm that actuates the flaps on the drivers side of the manifold, or by holding it open with a zip tie. Car runs amazing when warmed up but for cold starts it'll misfire.

APR's prototype (or at least the picture i saw) looked just like the carbonio. but who knows.
i'm still waiting for my hose to show up. i ordered it over a week ago and still haven't received shipping info.
I think I have my dyno somewhere with the flaps help "open" there was a noticeable dip or flat spot in the torque curve. It probably feels amazing because its not smooth, it comes in slower then a big rush of power
I left the main bearings aloneSo APR now wants an asinine amount of money for their rod install kit (went from $600 to $800). Looks like I'm piecing one together.
I'm just doing drop in rods as well. People who did this; did you touch your main bearings at all? No one makes any aftermarket mains for our engine. OEM ones are also $300. I know at least one person who just kept existing bearings in place, is that the norm?

The only change I'm aware of was an increase in price when we added ARP2000 bolts. They're rather expensive.

^This.
It feels amazing because there ISN'T any big rush of power, just nice smooth throttle response. :iono:
If I were to log data in VCDS, what specific blocks should I be looking at? I'd really like to figure out why it feels like such a drivability improvement, despite everyones crys of no performnce gain.
