To Hiflow Or Not To Hiflow?

[DFECTV 33]

Hi everyone. Im saved up a bit of cash and want to mak the 33 go that little bit harder. I have recently read here that ppl dont advise running more than about 12 psi on the stock turbo (i currently have the boost set to 10) If i wanted to raise boost levels to say 15-16psi is it better just to hiflow the stock turbo as opposed to buying a new one which seems like the much more expensve alternative. How do ppl rate hiflows?

GCG and other hi-flows are well documented in thier results and the gains/power that can be attained from them while keeping everything looking very standard.

Sorry i may seem a bit slow but what exactly r u saying? Hiflowing is a good thing?

Have you installed an ecu?

With a highflow, you will need an aftermarket ecu, then fuel pump, then injectors to get the full potential.

Buy an ecu first, this unlocks sooooo much hidden potential within the std motor/turbo.

I have a hi-flo and new ecu...basically get urself something like a PFC first. also look at the zorst, AFM etc before u bother i guess. few post aboutt what to do first.

yeah ok cool. i already got exhaust and cooler and was gonna get the power fc now with the turbo. How r u finding the hiflow? is it noticibly lagier?

[AlexCim]

not noticably laggier at all.

power increase is massive, SO much more mid range and top end, which is exactly what you want.

i would definately recommend the hiflow option. good power increase over stock. i got a vg30 single turbo exhaust housing adapted to mine for abit more top end result being 346hp(258kw) at wheels on 15psi. u make up your own mind !!

[sweetr33]

thats correct.
