[QUOTE=Sphoolin]Im pretty sure GC8's are the ones that are a little more robust when it comes to minor modifications but as i have been told before, running rich can cause a glazing of the bores aswel IIRC.[/QUOTE]

Correct....overly rich can wash the bores of lubricating oil....at worst it can score the bores and damage the rings......But I don't think "too rich" is the issue here.

Are you running an aftermarket BOV Jes?

Personally whether its a 06/07 Rex or Foz, I wouldn't be running around for too long with a pod & TBE without a tune otherwise it can get very expensive :(

car blowing smoke? maybe plugs

[QUOTE=nicecar]Its not the pod thats going to harm your engine, its your exhaust. Unless your exhaust is cat-back?[/QUOTE]

yeah its a catback

nah im not

no smoke - plugs just changed anyway

[QUOTE=REXESS]From what i've heard a pod filter adaptor can and will change the tune alot more than an exhaust because of the slight changes in the id of the afm pipe....[/QUOTE]

Oh ok didnt know that, thats strange though, i was running catback + aps cai for a few months without any backfiring. I feel cheated.

Just because it doesnt sound like its gonna blow up, doesnt mean damage isnt being done. then again




PING = POWA!
