Hello Everyone,
Due to health complications I've had to put R&D on projects on hold. For now i am trying to get better and will be continuing my work soon. Thank you all for your patience on this matter.

Thanks for all your input. With your help I've gotten the PPE downpipe (no more CEL for now...I hope) and the BMS Stage 1 tune. Going to install tune Saturday. Also got an Injen Short Ram Intake. I think up next will be a TMD when available, charge pipe and probably the apex'i or Invidia midpipe. I haven't found enough sound clips of the midpipes but I'm leaning Invidia for a more subtle growl.

i don’t suggest, it mess up with MAF calculation and for stage one a drop in filter is much more than enough, and if u wanna be more fancy go for BMS intake

Doesn't the MAP sensor also send a reading to the ECU on forced induction cars? I've had my HPS for some time and I never had any issues thus far. I've never tested it on the dyno, but HPS did their testing and saw some minor gains throughout the powerband.

in small setups like ours its no biggy since we are playing way under the safety line, but once u speak turbo swap and bigger setup forget these useless pipes since its nothing but vitual appeal and possibly slight power loss am sorry to say, but again in our case power loss might be neglectable

And to further clarify my point MAF sensor is located just after the intake, so when you change the pipe which comes after wards you need to do something called MAF scaling which is a nightmare for most inexperienced tuners

Got it. I know what the MAF is, I was just under the impression that the real reading is done by the MAP sensor on forced induction cars. Therefore having the HPS tube doesnt affect it as much.
