Oh it's driven lol. and I live in Florida so I'm sure the humidity don't help. Turbo lines, intake, tb were all full of oil when Tracy installed it. I took it back for him to look at it, he moved the clean side to intake opening, still nothing. Nothins blocked, I even crawled under with valve open and closed and blew/sucked on drain tube. Valve works, no blockage. Strange

How about the intercooler?  ShoBoat put up a how-to on cleaning it out, but worth taking a peek inside?  Maybe just need to add more miles to the Flex first.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Still getting quite a bit out, I see.  Looks like the new mounting location is working for you.  Have you taken a peek inside the turbo piping/intake etc?

Did you ever send any of it off to find out exactly what is in it?

I never could get a response from them on whether they will test it or not.

I don't get it, mine still is not working, unless it's still getting to much vac on clean side because i'm running an Airaid system. I did notice now that i'm into paddleboarding that when the boards are on the roof the sound echoing down from open sunroof that intake is LOUD AS HELL, (Actually wondering if I also have a boost leak) so it may be getting to much pull still.

I havent got anything either. I think mounting location is the key. The can needs to be in a cool spot. My can is in the engine bay too and so far nothing over 7,000 miles.

OK...been on a bit of a EBPF hiatus lately due to family and other issues...but I have some cool updates to share.

First off, I drained the RX OCC after 5,000miles and got out about 5-6oz. (Pictured is a 20oz. bottle)
Not NEARLY as much as our longitudinal counterparts...but still more than I want ending up in the CAC


Also, MY MONSTER CAN CAME IN TODAY!!! Complete with larger diameter hose, etc. SO, my plan is to remove the front facia again and make a few changes. I would like to switch to the larger can, plus try to remount the vacuum hoses closer to the turbos...Not sure yet whether I will try to tap into the intake pipes pre-turbo, or if I will tie into the open BOV ports since I'm VTA.


Not sure when I'll be doing this, but I have it tentatively slated for some time within the next two weeks.

I'll advise.

I'm beginning to think the cleanside line is still overpowering the other line. I took it off intake barb and just laid end inside airbox 100 miles ago. See what happens
