thats clean! I also have the Maxton diffuser, front crash bar, same Damond OCC and breather, but Im on a BNR3071, built engine, XDi HPFP and injectors..maxing out around 500whp (turbos limit). i bent a rod (resulting in melted ringlands in cyl1) and was smoking, but no performance/CEL/compression issues. I found the rod bent after pulling the engine on a hunch. I was pushing about 410-420whp at the time (BNR71+RS injectors). I just started getting a boost issue two days ago where i normally hit 36psi and 4th gear only hit 29psi max consistently under WOT. Tuner went through the logs and saw no WGDC or torque limiters...so I was going to make my own boost leak kit but found a full set on Amazon for like $47 shipped, arrives tomorrow. I already went through the charge pipes and vacuum lines..nothing obvious. The fight never ends with something popping its ugly head up every few weeks lol. This time it was the night BEFORE my 3rd attempt to go in for a dyno session. Every single time I plan on hitting up a dyno day, the day before my car has some random, phantom issue but runs like a top for weeks or months prior 🤦♂ Ive already used brazing rods and a torch to fix my cPE exhale kit that got a pinhole in it from rubbing on the ac compressor the first time..Im prob going to get a solid cold side pipe and move the bov (HKS) over to the hot side where theres plenty of room. i bought all custom, extended length silicon hoses for all of my charge pipe fittings, even without clamps theres zero chance of my piping coming off. But Im thinking something rubbed through somewhere by the FMIC/radiator/AC compressor or something..or i have a vacuum leak by the turbo (boost solenoid junction area). it is also possible that the thin aluminum cPE cold side piping bent, as ive noticed it deformed before when Ive had it out. not as bad as yours, but its been that way in the past without causing issues. hope you get her running good again! here in south-central Texas its in the mid-upper 30's, but thats about as cold as it'll likely get for now..thankfully because it was raining all day yesterday 😅 btw, lower AFR means rich conditions...9 is very low..usually the gauges wont read below 10.00, which is very rich.
My two cents and respectful opinion. There is more to grilles than looks. They will provide protection from rocks, animals, debris, chunks of ice during winter, etc, to that delicate and expensive collection of heat exchangers (radiator, condenser, intercooler, and oil cooler if you have one). Whiteblurrst even installed an additional mesh behind the factory grille. Why roll the dice and take a chance? I love my Zunsport Grilles... from England... I've posted about them previously.
man yeah you being up a great point and sadly that should’ve been the first thought was the safety of the car and i looked past it. i definitely think im gonna be keeping it on the car. especially highway driving that would be awful to have a punctured radiator due to no grill and i checked them out! whiteburr at videos are great i think im gonna do the mesh as well are shaving the grill down
@@VJC4x 👍👍 It's too bad I can't post a photo of my CP-E Intercooler ($700). It's all because of the useless factory grille. Zunsport grilles are heavy mesh square grilles, and look the part too.

thanks man! definitely will not be wrenching during this snow storm 😂
So convenient man I need to find a boost leak on mine due to a little noise and not getting enough boost
check those charge pipes bro! always something happening with them! 🤝
@ thanks for the tip man! keep up with the videos I love seeing the build
@@justinandaya06thanks homie 🤝❤️
What cold side pipe is it? (Exhale cpe?….should of watched whole video 😅)
