Question for vf and ess supercharger owners

rmeitz167 · 06-14-2019, 08:42 AM

How is the inlet to your idle air control valve ran and do you have pictures? Does it go to the intake pre charger or is it going to the intake manifold? My gpower is set up to the manifold, and was causing a fault. Im curious how the other kits are run

What faults was it causing?

2b0d, dme: idle actuator monitoring, bank 1. Fault has Been gone and hasnt returned since blocking off the port once hooked to the inlet to the idle control valve. Which has a filter on it currently. However gpower insists they use that as a 9th throttle body sort of and ill be losing boost. So im working on getting a reducer from them that used to come in the earlier kits they sold. At some point the previous owner lost that, and then had this issue.

This reducer was removed in later software versions. Just ask gpower for a newer Software Version and everything is fine again. Do not mess around with those reducers.

Yup, and they want $1000 for an update. Im planning to custom tune the car anyway, just want things to be correct before i do.
