was after some opinions on screamer pipes. currently i have a hks style split turbulence dump on there at the moment, but i am going to higflow the turbo, so i was wondering would it be beneficial to have a screamer or just keeping the one i got?? i am not really that concerned with the legality of it either. just wanted to know if it will pick up a bit more power and whether it would sound good.

cheers

Mate screamer pipe is the way to go

i got my wastegate pipe in the Atmosphere and it sounds like a jumbo jet is comming,As for power it depends how restrictive your exhaust is

what turbo and exhuast you running

Key difference you are forgetting

You are using a External Gate.

The starter of this thread, using an internal gate

Its like comparing apples and oranges, they might be fruit, but nowhere near the same as each other

I would doubt it will pickup power. And i doubt it will "sound good"

ive seen the light with internal gated screamers......

i gained power by plumbing it back up....... it also helped me clear my EPA notice too.... split is the way to go .. no doubt about it

screamers are fun, i loved the WTF expression id get when u'd open it up..... but robbed me of a fair bit of power........wont go back to screamer unless i have an external gate .. and 2 3/4 pipe sticking off it

split dump/front pipe - over 3" dump/front pipe????

split dump is the way to go. Causes less turbulance in exhaust gas flow when the exhausts from the gate re-enter and therefor improving flow/velocity. Most of the split dump pipes are calculated correctly with length etc to minimize turbulance and maximize flow and velocity, which is what you want.

was yours a standard turbo? or was it one of the ones with the split section for the wastegate like the HKS ones?

    • 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?
