Check your intake lower hoses. I was getting this and it went away when I reclipped the loose hose.

Will-do, thank you! Happened again yesterday—I was in manual, was warmed up and pulling 60-90 and 3rd to 4th — boom

Yep, that's my symptom. It was the hose down deep on the side, not the ones on the top. I.e. the hose clip closest to the turbo.

I am going to dig around in there tomorrow. Thanks again for the tip!

Put the OEM look dash cam in today. Video quality is meh, but it works. Supposedly 4K… If you decide to order one from AliExpress (FitCamX) —a few things have changed on a 2022 Giulia, including the facia pointing towards the windshield.

Using the supplied piece to cover the wires, there was a gap—used the OEM and it has a bit of overage on the sides, but better than seeing wires.

Also too, just have to tap into the rain sensor in the overhead light area. No separate power supply inside of the OEM mirror cover—this makes it a bit difficult to tuck the harness in the overhead light area.

Some gore and finished…

Installed half of an SGW bypass—had to stop after my nails and parts of my fingers started falling off.

Satan…

Even my GF tried to get the last one out. She ended up unplugging something, like the knee airbag harness, but she tried

@614 for my Blackvue dashcam I tapped into the power for the mirror. That power does not stay on when parked, but I am not concerned with the parked vehicle function of the camera and I am not keen on the battery drain that would cause. Otherwise I think the best bet is to run a wire all the way to the BCM.

Blackvue is top rated, but I find that the picture quality is mediocre to poor. It doesn't seem to cope with moving objects (includes objects that are stationary but have relative movement due to the vehicle speed). I am rarely able to read other vehicle's license plates or street signs, day or night. Honestly the only major value to the high priced Blackvue that I see is that it is reliable. I have had 2 other inexpensive dash cams before and neither lasted a whole year. My Blackvue is still working well after 4.5 years.

Reference this picture of a large bear at night:

Pure luck

Here was the view out of my windshield just after midnight. Travelling more-or-less at the 55MPH speed limit, exiting a turn. No contact. Note her several friends on the road shoulder ahead. FWIW: -1.1G braking according to the instrument panel accelerometer.

Note in these images how the road stripes are sharp, but the important details are blurry. This is symptomatic of bad motion compensation; a critical part of video compression that is computationally intensive.

Thanks for the detailed information—I think I paid $120 for this one—it works well, and I love that it’s hidden and looks like part of the car.

Chasing my GF’s 18 YO son in my tuned Stelvio Veloce — It’s sneaky quick…

Video quality is alright.

Finally got the SGW bypass installed—did it just under the steering column. It was a pain in the ass, should have just taken the lower panel off.

All seems to be working well—haven’t tried launch assist or burnout mode yet.

Battery is a bit concerning…

@614 I did the FITCAMX front and rear a week or so ago as well, almost invisible. Mainly did it for pure purpose of backing up a claim should I be in an accident again. I have the giulia now due to a rear end collision totaling my previous car.

fwiw I think the ibs needs a few days to recalibrate after pulling the battery, wouldn’t be too concerned.

I've figure out how to do this in 5 minutes. I first tried from outside the car as your GF is trying and struggled. I even tried laying in there on my back. I figured out that if you remove the column shroud, sit in the driver's seat, and reach up through the hole with your right arm, you can get to the connectors without contorting yourself and easily pull the connectors.

The last time I did it, I didn't even remove the column shroud, but I'm also not a 220lb guy either, so my arm fit through the smaller gap.

I hear it's worse on the Stelvio, and I need to get to the one on my wife's Stelvio soon so when I change the oil I can reset the oil change timer....

Worked on updating my old Windows laptop to get MES on it. Haven’t setup ports yet; but looking forward to playing around.

Some carbon fiber bits came in from @MADNESS Autoworks today, got those in… played a bit more with the Performance Logger.

I never realized how loud a could start on stock exhaust would be on Quadrifoglio with the valves fully open in N. GF thought I started up the 4C.

Some photos and more of the dash cam integration with a bit more light.

How did you get that IBS readout on your dash?

It’s a feature of the Squadra Tuning Performance Logger — the OBDII unit lit up in green in the photo above.

Did a quick pull to test HP/ TQ — only required 488HP/500lbs ft TQ to launch launch from 60-90MPH — I didn’t want to press my luck in a deer state. Curious if I can get it over 505 with the tune—already over stock TQ

Got MES up and running on an old Windows laptop. Going to switch to Euro paddle specs tomorrow.

Euro + everywhere but NAFTA paddle config a success…

Going to pair well I think…

Not yet — belts and mats will be here very soon—the mat pics are from what the bespoke designer sent me as going out tomorrow . Also worked with Koshi on custom Oro Quadrifoglio badging for the exterior…
