alright bud, thanks for the compliments much appreciated
in my opinion i will get my car mapped to a CCph2 and leave it at that, the power should be plenty for me. i realize your car is REVO'd but a few mates have commented on how smooth and almost 'factory like' the power delivery in mine is, im hoping ph2 will be even more of a heightend driving experience. i use mine daily so has to be as drivable as possible.
basically the N249 bypass is a bit of tubing that goes from the Dump valve straight to the inlet, instead of (inlet-n249-Dump valve) cutting the n249 out improves a few things..crisper throttle, DV operates quicker as its now a direct pipe, DV sounded slightly better too..plus a better gear change....good cheap mod
a TIP is a turbo intake pipe..the forge one comes highly recommended. this mod is a must after remap cos the old one tends to be unreliable. this TIP is designed a little freer which in turn benefits the car. after fitting the turbo spools slightly quicker and you will hear and feel it sooner too..lovely whoosh sound. very expensive for some piping but recommended
turbo intake pipe (T.I.P)
with the throttle allowance, with a CCph1 map im sure the throttle is setup so you get full boost when the pedal is 75% pressed, ive just adjusted so i get full boost when pedal is on the floor.(which i will get reverted back, with the CCph2..)
i removed the soundproofing to see if i could hear the engine more..which imo you can..i can hear my DV more, i can hear more whooshing and whistleing too, also it helps to get more cold air recirculating round the engine bay, as the soundproofing holds all the heat in causing slight heatsoak....the removal of the fogs is benefitial to the side mount intercoolers. these fogs are directly in front of the side mounts restricting the cold air getting to them...removing them should be a good fix untill i get my front mount intercooler..then they will go back in lol....
dont worry bout asking questions mate, we are all here to learn and i dont know as much as some people on here...there are some very usefull tips and facts on this site, just depends on how much time you have dude..
