they are made to bolt on to the stock turbo all the way to the cat. so if you order the r34 gtt pipe, it will fit your stock turbo and if you were to high flow it later, it will still bolt on then without an issue. ive put your name in the list :laugh:

cheers

quick question. whats everyone paying to get it installed + cat? i went to a place that works with both turbo'd and hotrods that quoted $100-150ish for a job done properly and not rushed. then i went to a garage that works with imports that quoted $60. for some reason i trust the expensive place more.

anyone still using their existing gasket or are you guys replacing it??

Got mine today! Looks good - everything I expected. I'd leave trader feedback but cant work out how to do it? It seems not to be working at the moment.

EDIt - cancel that I worked it out, positive feedback left.

Yep got my dump and cat today looks mint, shinier than any other part on my car lol, and its going underneath the bloody thing.

I think i am going to install it myself.

I got mine fitted for about $50 i think (i could be wrong) - if you are in Vic, get RE Customs to do it - they did a good job on mine (ordered the cat back through them as well).

i guess i got ripped pretty badly then. ah well. the heat shield can be put back on right? cause they didnt put it back on for me. also is anyones pipe touching what i assume to be the heater pipe going into the cabbin?

Yes mine as well..

I recommend heat wrapping the whole pipe before summer hits, as it might even melt that aircon pipe and also the sound deadendin stuff under the car, as the pipe sits like 1mm under..

I didnt put my heatsheild back on.. Would it affect the temps in summer? Obviously it would, but would it damage anything?? esp the turbo?

I had to replace my gasket as well..

yeah i had my heat wrap from the old pipe ready to go but the exhasut guy said itll kill the pipe making rust and crack. but looking at my old pipe it was rusting on the horizontal parts where i assume the water builds up during condensation. the end connecting to the dump was fine so im thinking maybe just heatwrap the top end of the dump and wastegate pipe.

Well its only the wastegate pipe touchin the aircon pipe, so i will just heat wrap that i guess.

Dont think theres a need to wrap the whole pipe right, due to what you said above.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
