How much boost before new charge pipes

Ehloo · 04-05-2017, 05:14 PM

most likely going a very conservative tune or piggy back. Not a JB4

most piggys raise around 2-3 PSI. Do i need new charge pipes?

Boost is boost, doesn't matter whether its a flash or piggyback.

We've seen damaged charge pipes on stock boosted vehicles, there's no definitive way to tell whether you'll be a statistic or not. Consider any mods pushing you further into that zone. Aftermarket charge pipes are merely cheap insurance for those running higher boost.

Most piggys raise boost by 4 PSI on stock cars

You should be fine with up to +4 PSI (no guarantee though, i have seen it fail on stock boost)

It's usually not a matter if but when. If you are going to tune definitely consider the charge pipe upgrade. If you are stock, I'd naturally wait for them to break. It's less likely they break stock but they still do in fact crack on stock vehicles.

I've been running my VF stage 1 for 20k+ miles now on stock charge pipes.

Stock charge pipes crack on non tuned cars.
So unfortunately its only a matter of time.
Get the ER charged pipes. Many people run those with no issues
