Hi there! Thanks for considering our tune. I can confidently state that our tunes are very reliable. If you have any specific questions please feel free to reach out. Have a good one!
In my experience (180+ dyno tests on the FL5 platform) charge pipes are unlikely to add much if any extra power for most builds, your biggest gain is better appearance and increased long term durability over the factory rubber pieces.
I'd choose PRL over HPS every time, going with the company...
The pops/bangs are "all or nothing" with the factory tune and there is a long list of parameters that have to be met before the ECU triggers this behavior. It is possible to have a pending code that does not trigger a check engine light but prevents the pops/bangs. Even after clearing codes you...
There is no relation to the intake and how "aggressive" the pops/bangs are. As you have learned, any sort of code will disable the pops/bangs until it is resolved.
I personally do not have any hands on experience with that line but we unfortunately have had customers report odd rattles and things that they were not able to resolve. I am hopeful that AWE is working on whatever may have caused this, I am sure they would not purposely let anything go out the...
Code present = Noise gone
If you have not modified your downpipe / catalytic converter I would clear the code and hope it was a fluke that does not return.
International shipping and import taxes are typically already paid by a US based company when you buy from them but can end up being your responsibility if buy directly from Japan (or another country)
GruppeM over Eventuri. Eventuri failed to add an additional air inlet for the FL5/DE5 and it will be choked the further you get away from factory power levels.
Something to keep in mind is that in April we will be talking about the next batch that is due in June. Based on the sales and production figures I have seen I believe they will be hard to come by in April for anyone that didn't order in late Feb, perhaps even excluding many that will order in...
We have PRL charge pipes in stock today for the FL5/DE5 and the 11th gen 1.5T. My best advice is to confirm inventory/leadtimes with a trusted dealer before ordering.
Regarding the FL5/DE5 High Volume Intake, if you have not ordered already you will have to be careful who you order from if you...
We are big fans of this mount as well. Compared to many I have a low tolerance of NVH for a street car. We use this mount in our FL5 which makes about 500whp depending on which turbo we have in the car. Over the years I've probably used 6-8 different rear motor mounts from different...
