There are a couple of solenoids..which one do you refer to?

One controls the stock bypass valve, the other the wastegate (boost) control.

the solenoid the "edal mod" bypasses

Ah yes

The Solenoid mod is designed to kep the stock bypass valve closed during certain conditions where it would otherwise be open and causing boost loss. A related, but actually quite separate intention.

Our new product as shown here addresses other shortcomings of the stock valve:

• It is undersized, and unable to bypass sufficient air for optimal turbocharger response
• It is not adjustable for different drivers' characteristics
• It will not support a turbocharger upgrade

Bill,
Can u make it already modified to fit with the GMPP intake kit. That's what I have on my GXP now and I don't plan on taking it off.

What size is the GMPP pipe, outside diameter? What we've been doing is shortening the intake pipes, so long as they are the correct 3" diameter. It's easy and works very well, actually giving you a bit of extra latitude to better position your air filter if you like.

The GMPP intake has the same inner diameter as the stock airbox section where the MAF sensor sits in. They did that so as to not throw off the MAF readings. Here is a picture of it so you can see what you would have to do.

Looks like a slam-dunk! One careful trim, slide the pipe into our silicone hose, and it's all good

Another question...I have IC pipes going in that eliminate the rubber coupler at the elbow...what would I have to do to fit it?

One of two things:

• Stick with the stock pipes. Not glamorous, I know...but completely up to the task!
• Shorten the new pipe. We can show you how to do so in a fashion that will look factory when done!

Frankly, rigid piping that eliminates the rubber hoses is a no-no. The hoses enable the required flexibility that allow the engine and transmission to move on their flexible mounts without putting inordinate strain on the piping, intercooler, or throttle body. The rigid piping may 'look' cool, but it's a move backwards in functionality and durability.

You got two options to cure that, solid motor mounts or a hump hose

The first will work, for sure...but solid mounts are a bit extreme for the average street car.

The second is a tad better than a solid hose connection, but nothing beats the intended flexibility of a few inches of good molded hose. From semi-tractors to GXP's, engineers choose this as the best way to go for long-term durability. They flow better than hump hoses too

I actually switched out my lower intercooler hoses (the ones with the rings on them) for 6" long hump hose, so that should make a difference. I'm using a silicone hose to substitute for the elbow hose.

I really only have the black IC piping for shows, and nothing else. I know they eliminate the crimp in the factory IC piping and might flow a tad better, but the pipes are really only intended for aesthetics, I would think.

looks like im spending more money on my car. The list never end with what I want to do to my car.

Bump for a fun new product
