Title: Forge intercooler
Post by: dominikpee on July 20, 2013, 04:16:09 pm
Fitted a forge intercooler to my edition30 today bolted it on went on fine. Turned it on.... idling and driving like a absolute dog now lol misfiring and backfiring etc. I'm currently running APR Stage 2+ btw.
What could my issues be boost leak??

Sound like a leak. Unplug the maf and see how it runs? Don't give it beans, just see if it clears the misfire

Little update. Cars stop misfiring and idling sh*t. But just seems that the power isn't there how it was before lost that torquey feel! What could this be?!? Do I need to run it in a few miles for the ecu to figure out air,fuel etc?

Nope! should be settled almost straight away. You would lose a tiny bit of low down torque but hardly noticeable in the real world. The Forge pipes are crap so i would defo check for leaks. Mine blew off twice in the first week.  :happy2:
