Ok... i been doing alot of researching, and i found a few things that's interesting. So far, the free mods i found are removing power steering, remove a/c, remove air pump, tb mod, and that's about it. anything else??? oh yeah, of course stuff like egr and stuff like that, but on the other hand.... how do you all pass emission without egr?? i found a page full of free mods for n/a but not for turbo, someone please help me out! thanks!!

p.s. : is there any page that shows exactly how tb mod is done??? thanks!

 

hmm... try and gutt the living **** out of your car... dont forget about the heat shields under neath...

 

I've heard of the DSM guys crushing their BOVs for more boost, that's a free mod, but I don't know if it's effective on the FC or not, I just use a cheap boost controller that cost me $35..

 

i thought you were supposed to keep the shields underneath the car there to protect everything from crap kicking up....?

 

hmm did not know i could remove the airpump..looks like this upcoming week ill be removing the a/c p/s and air pump all in one huge mass of dead weight to free up the little rotary and it will also frere up alot of good work space and make everything much easier to clean

 

Anyone else who removed the air pump.. did you notice how freaking light that mounting bracket for it is? I wish EVERYTHING on the car was made out of aluminum like that.. jeez

 

If you remove the airpump your cats will clogg fast and your car will slow and run like ****, Keep it there untill you get rid of the cats

The pan under the car is to direct air, dont remove it.

A good mod is removing all the vacume nest under the uim, Its not free, just the cost of some vacume hose, but its cheap enough.

Also a down pipe and an intake woulld greatly improve performance, ALot, But if you wanna do it free, just take off the cats and take a hammer and somthing long and knock the **** out of the inside of the cats, Less back pressure, more boost, GO FASTER!

good stuff!!! oh yeah.....how do people pass inspection without airpump and acv???? thanks!

 

the only way i know is putting it all ack on ....

 

will the car blow clean enouf to pass?... with out cats and airpump?... i can get someone ot overlook whats there but the computer reads what it reads... what about the dual exhaust thing.. wont it read half what the car is actually blowing... i mean they only put 1 tester in 1 pipe.

I want to remove my cats and airpump. then do the tid mod.
The airpump is in the way!

You can only crush metal BOV's.

 

Look under the car and you'll see why that isn't true. There is a Y pipe.

 

but each pipe only puts out half the total exhaust right.. the "y" splits it in half give or take a few %.

half if half no matter what.
