    Hi guys,

    TVIS - HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN IT'S WORKING ?

    S'posed to come in around 4200 RPM, but most times your scooting along above speed limits by then ? :)

    should I be expecting a kick in the rear or what ?

    seems to just make more noise :)

    There is a significant push at 4200, if you rev it in 2nd from 2000, you should feel it.

    my tvis isn't working :( i feel like the flaps are just hangin loose because i get the push of torque at 3500 and it's gradual

    it's as if it's the intake air speed that's pushing the flaps open, instead of the ecu keeping it closed until 4200.

    i did however drive a different gt-s than mine, and it makes more noise along with more torque right at 4200rpm

    Take it apart, and look what's up there. You only have to buy a new gasket. Check if all the bolts on the flaps are tied properly, and air isn't going where it shouldn't.

    really ?


    Ok, can you check it externally somehow ?

    like checking the diaphram thingie is operating first ?

    don't care to pull stuff apart just for the sake of it ?

    but that's me lol
