This thing is absolutely massive and I'm sure flows very well. This inlet mates up perfectly with the P34, S34 and X34 intakes. It works for the B9 and B.95 S4 & S5 as well as the B9/B9.5 SQ5. The support turbos include the TTE710, TTE810, Pure750 and TS2. This huge inlet should flow very well for that big turbo! The installation is pretty straight forward, but may require a few small tools to reach the inlet fasteners.
Ever have just an hour to wash and seal your car? Gyeon Wet Coat is put to the test today to see if I can wash and seal my Mustang in under 60 minutes while the sun sets. If I was using a normal paste wax or liquid sealant there is no way I'd make it. Between having to dry an uncoated car and waiting for a wax to haze I'd be left outside with a flashlight. This product claims to be as simple as as a spray on and wash off application. Will it really work?
I picked up my 2023 Corvette Stingray a few weeks ago of course I had to ceramic coat. For any great ceramic application a paint correction is a must! I chose Adam's Polishes Graphene Ceramic Coating Advanced for this beautiful car. Fortunately our friends at CARZILLA were kind enough to provide me two polishers for this test. The ShineMate EB210 and EX620 were used to compound and polish the paint to a brilliant shine. In this video I will review the two polishers and the ceramic coating.
Today I installed 034 Motorsport red top high output ignition coils and some fresh OEM NGK spark plugs gapped to 0.022". This setup will help support my Stage 3 build with the TTE710 Turbo. The ignition coils are supposed to provide higher output and aesthetics, and fresh plugs gapped down are a good idea for a hybrid turbo build. If your plugs and coils are getting a bit old, this is also a great option for you, but you don't need to gap the plugs down on a stock turbo.
Good news! If you opted for the C8 Corvette 1LT trim, you don't have to miss out on HomeLink. Many like myself chose to stick to the base trim because the value proposition is insane. Nevertheless, the absence of garage door opener controls was frustrating. Luckily, with a mere $200 and a bit of time, you can achieve the ultimate driver's package with your 1LT.

Today we'll be installing the 034 Motorsport High Pressure Fuel Pump Piston Upgrade Kit for the 2.9L and 3.0L EA839 engines. I'm going to be installing it in my 2018 B9 S4 as part of my Stage 3 build to support a larger hybrid turbo from The Turbo Engineers. You'll definitely want to stay tuned for the rest of this video series!
The 034Motorsport Street Density Transmission Mount is a performance upgrade for the factory transmission mount assembly. It replaces the factory mount's soft rubber damping medium with a high durometer rubber, which provides better support at higher power levels. This mount is a direct, drop-in replacement that limits unwanted transmission movement and improves performance. 034 also offers a billet aluminum Transmission Mount Insert that can be used with the upgraded mount to further improve performance. This insert fits into the large void in the factory transmission mount, limiting transmission movement without sacrificing ride quality or increasing NVH.
