Ok so my car is going in to unigroup tomorrow and hopefully i will have some dyno results on Friday fingers crossed

Yeah look out for any of ya go fast parts or bling on ebay too that they might have stripped off to sell as odds are its been stripped to be sold for parts sorry to hear champ hope it works out for ya mate

The officer an indication that any mods to this vehicle were carried out correctly? In my opinion any TRUE car enthusiasts vehicle is gunna be maintained better and will be safer on the roads than the average commuters car as people simply dont maintain their vehicle as well.

i think rb25pwr is doing us readers a huge favour giving us a police officers perspective on the subject which i think is mighty fine of him. why somebody wouldnt speak to an officer with the same common courtesy as you would any other person is beyond me regardless of past experiences good or bad and obviously being a smart ass or being narky isn't gunna help your cause. 1 thing from what i have read doesnt make sense to me. if your car has an engineers certificate how can you still be defected by police? So whats the point of having somebody who is trained and qualified to assess your car and deem it roadworthy when a police officer can make a personal judgement which he is not qualified to make that can over ride an engineers certificate? I can understand if your car looks like a hunk of junk or is rediculously low or has huge rims or a muffler the size of a paint can hanging out the back of it that would make an officer more prone to ask you to pop your hood but surely if your car is well presented with nothing bodgy or over the top done to it would give

HAHA was thinking dunny rolls woulda looked better but settled for stainless instead! Thanks mate it did come up good i havent polished it up yet it will come up shinier but thats tomorrow arvos plan

This is the other position that i cut the factory line and re welded it and repainted it ">

This is 1 of the sections that i cut and moved the bend position and fused it up with the tig">

This is the blow off valve line that i modified to suit my new setup">

Ok so today i made up a suction pipe and my turbo outlet pipe out of 316L stainless steel and purged welded them i also chopped up and modified the factory blow off valve plumback line for my turbo today just gotta clamp it all up tomorrow. here is some pics of my work

So timing and good AFRS dont help boost?

Ok so it was my first drive in the dry today so it was good to feel what she pulled like with some boost. In second gear and around the 4300rpm zone it started to spin my 255s (unsure of boost pressure) which was surprising actually considering my car has a 2 way kaaz LSD , it hasnt been tuned and it was just under half throttle 49% It initially felt like a bit laggiier than i was expecting but jez pulled some timing out of her to make her safe albeit we couldnt drive her safely in the wet up top. Just wondering roughly how much the tune will help boost response?

Just got back from taking it for a buzz then Jez feels nice when it comes on boost but i been shifting at bout 4500-5000 and 51% throttle is most ive used so full throttle and more revs should be awesome hoping a good tune will help bring it on to boost a lil earlier though gunna re run the pipework tomorrow when it comes back from the exhaust shop got lazy yesterday with that miserable weather didnt even clean the workshop lol. Got a boost control issue too my peak hold was 16.3psi when my controller was set to 13psi so dunno whats going on there

Haha cheers ive got an engineering workshop artz still got a bit of work to do yet like putting the blow off valve plumback line in and modify the turbo outlet pipe my cat needs the flanges cutting off to align them better cos of my new dump pipe i think, gotta put my turbo blanket on get my cam gears installed waiting on a tomei fuel pump thats goin in and finally get her tuned properly as the wet weather blew any chance of bringing her onto boost... When i finally finish it properly i will post some up... Think im gunna get Jez to tune it up on 98 and see how it feels then on 11th next month i will have Yuvas re tune it on E85 and see what the difference is

The air temperature is right as much as we need the wet stuff i wish it would buzz off for me lol

Haha gotta say thats the fasted delivery vehicle i have driven too cheers mate i look forward to getting some feedback off you when i give you a drive. Amen to some dry weather!

Thats a bugger mate but i can tell you that you will be happy with your turbo selection from my first feel of my car today and the sound is good too

A big thanks to Jez for his effort today absolutely massive mate im cheering u are a champion sorry bout the onions i guess the saying once u go black u cant go back doesnt apply to onions hey? Lol i also want to thank Andy for dropping in and saying hi, checking up on us and giving us some helpful tips and especially for delivering my new cat Haha much appreciated mate. We peaked 13.5psi tonight very briefly before the wheel spin in the wet. My car did feel a bit livelier down low than your current setup but obviously hard to say without traction and proper tuning . Was shocked how much my exhaust note changed from stock turbo and bodgey gutted cat to what i have now sounds awesome! Cant wait for full tune and E85! Think its gunna be a tough lil street package

Took the dumpy to the shop that made it and he was 1000% sure it was right so fingers crossed

You get your car running with the gtx mate?

Gunna call liverpool exhaust and see what they say tomorrow because they made it

Just looked under my car and this dump pipe looks like its to suit a high mount manifold the offset from the turbo flange down to the flange that bolts up to your cat looks wrong im bolting it onto the standard headers Can anybody confirm this PLEEEEASE?

Haha cheers scott only couple of days now till i get to hear this lil baby scream :)mestamp='1316611486' post='6026347'] Ohh la la, look at that. Now I am confident you will be a happy chappy Lets see you crank some boost through it hey hey hey hey

the dumpy was only $250 mate and another $250 to swap my housing for the garrett housing quote name='ARTZ' timestamp='1316653792' post='6026784'] nice pipe....def worth the 500
