Thankyou for everyone who helped.. including mr ed32 friend Gab.. i know it was a real headfu*ck.

Seriously? You already have an LSD, they are a great start to traction. To get more traction try a different one, like a 1.5 way, or even a 2 way.

But spend the cash on something like this (link below) and know what to do when its wet and your going around a corner again and lose traction

No worries love.... hope u paid gab good :)

decent tyres will give you better traction, learning to drive it properly, wheel alignment, wider rims, want me to continue?

Hope your driving that thing carefully now :(

wider doesn't necessarily mean better traction. I drove an R33 GTS-t with 255's on the rear. Then put the STD wheels on for compliance and the 205's had better traction. It's about the tyre, not just the width.

Semi Slick's will give you great traction in the dry but not so much in the wet although they are alot more predictable than street radials :(

Yeah, what Tosh said: Quality > Quantity. :)

Just because it's a wider tyre, doesn't mean it will give you better traction. Tyres are definitely THE most important area in which you SHOULD NOT skimp when you make a purchase - ALWAYS buy the best tyres you can afford...

No matter how good your own driving skill, your car's LSD, suspension, brakes and driveline are, they are nothing when those four little contact patches at each corner of your car are the weakest link in the chain!

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
