Another MREV experience. . .
So i'll make this short since its eveywhere. . .just installed my MD Copper iso-thermal MREV on my 05 sedan 6mt. . .took 2 hours with a friend, and was pretty darn easy, just double/triple check all ur hose/bolt connections. Took me awhile to find a decent road in Houston to give it WOT. The way i like to explain this new-found power is. . .more confidence. The engine was already a great engine, with plenty of power, but its like the MREV kit unleashed the rest of teh power that was hiding out. IN combo with the more aggresive intake note, it is the perfect marriage. LIke i said, the engine pulls with alot more confidence now, and i def no longer fear any coupe, 350zs, or other cars in my range. . .not like i ever did fear them . Now go read all the other MREV posts where they actually talk about their power gains and shiz. I'll be posting my new dyno data when i get a chance next week, it'll be under my previous thread with my past dyno data.

The last engine I worked on was a 69 chevy 302. That was a simple engine.

There are quite a few threads based on personal experience(s) posted here on this particular mod, as well. It's an awesome mod.

My concern is to find out any side affect to this upgrade.
Thanks.

The MREV alone will not throw your ratios out of the safe range. If you combine it with cats/testpipes/headers etc., you could affect flow enough to need a reflash/UTEC etc. The main advantage to the MREV is not really flow, its a cooler/denser air charge. This reduces the potential for pinging and allows for more timing advance under load.

Will someone post some neg info on this piece. I am about to commit suicide from the agony I am experiencing from not having purchased this mod. Everyday is torture .
For a person like myself that goes to the dealership for oil changes and all services. Can they easily discover that part has been replaced? I don't want to get into a pissing match with dealership over services. I don't have space nor time to do oil changes and such. So it is easier for me to be a dumb monkey and return to dealership.
Any one with mrev in the same situation as I?
How is gas mileage?
Any sputtering issues?
Any annoyances at all?
Good luck to all that currently have this. I am so jealous. Seems like everyone is pleased with it....
