dump pipes are off the turbo's yes. I recently bought some HKS split dumps. Most people have that type, but a few also have the trust dumps which are longer, so that wastegate gasses don't mess with turbine gass flow as much...

Are they in a kit that includes gaskets, crush washers etc?

Mick from Signature (0403 215 300) also fabricates a great set of dump pipes, I should have a set on my car in the coming months.

Give him a call and check them out. He always tests all his designs and fabrications for improvement.

wheres he located paul ? u reckon ud be able to post pics of some of his work etc... like the welding qualit etc... inside n out ? im interested...

and another question is it possible to have aftermarket dumps and still have the factory heatshields on ? if not then im a dopey C*&nt and got fooled into thinking there was aftermarket dumps on allready.

Paul, do you have approx prices?

i was under the impression that the HKS ones are not long enough in the seperation part....Trust styled ones apparently work a lot better. anyone confirm this?

CES appaerently makes good dump/front pipes. but it is VERY expensive. not mentioning the effort of taking the turbos off.

Yup, fitting the dumps is a pain in the ass. Labour will cost you nearly as much as the dumps themselves unless you are going to do it yourself. I fitted the HKS ones to my old GTR when I had the engine out modifying the sump. I definately noticed the difference in response with them fitted. The TRUST ones are supposed to be better again.

So glad to be away from the cost of the GTR :dry:

and would anhyone have a performance shop who have trust dumps? i checked around most to have hks....or apexi.

or where theyre available to buy online etc,,, ? what makes the trust ones better than other brands? bigger diameter? or quality of welds or design ?

    • 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?
