Anyone happen to have pics of prodrive boost controller install? I had mine installed by a local shop but am not seeing any boost increase via selectable maps. I should be seeing wastegate on map 1, 8 on map 2, 9-10 on map 3, 10-11 on map 4. I am seeing 7 psi regardless of map selection. Harness is wired to prodrive so not sure where there issue is.

Did u get a tune for maps? Ebc doesn't work itself, it has to be ecu tuned for each maps.

Any one has got an air intake temp problem with this kit? I had to trim airfilter pipe shorter due to HID headlights (BRZ) and my AIT is a big problem, close to 180f° in traffic.
I'm going to reroute the airfilter to the space where the windscreen washer bottle is located.

Yes, tune has built ebc. That's the issue. Ecu should be requesting higher boost but not seeing it...

Is your header and down pipe wrapped or ceramic coated?

I wrapped my intake tube and sensor with gold heat resistant tape and it really helped drop the IAT's in traffic.

I think putting the gold tape on the top halves of the intake runners would also help keep the heat down on the intake manifold too.

What radiator and fans you guys running?

Yeah summer is coming up def want to do the radiator and oil cooler upgrade

Throw the kit in the trash

pixel67 · 04-27-2014, 01:53 PM

I had my header and downpipe ceramic coated and will be rewrapping them in a few weeks. Ceramic alone won't do it. I need to get this boost control fixed first though. Did some searching last night and it doesn't look like it is plumbed correctly. The harness is facing towards the front of their car in the video below.

My header and down pipe are not ceramic coated but wrapped and my intake charge pipe is wrapped with gold heat reflective tape too. gold tape is definitely helping but not enough.
I got a Koyo rad and Laminova oil cooler from fa20club too and they are working very well.
