GTST-VSpec - so do you have any comments on the dump pipe in general? I understand that the wastegate pipe is pretty long (about 60cms) so I guess that might account for the 'sbend' that macka has mentioned... for the dollars I want to make sure its a good quality job! :D

If you go for a seperate wastegate pipe then make sure it joins back up as far down the exhaust as possible, you don't want the wastegate air to cause turbulance and back-pressure. Other than going for a nice mandrel bent system then there isn't much to them. Compare them to the Jap made ones, they are all well designed:D

paul aren't you getting a 3037? so you'd be running a sep wastegate line anyway (from the ext gate), and the sep on your current turbo ur probably aren't experiencing much diff since as you said it is that std turbo

however for some else who may upgrade their turbo to one that uses the same dump pipe flange, it'd be in their best interest to use a partitioned dump pipe, with a late join further to the cat

that's definately what I'm doing when I get my next dump pipe! tho ... smoothest airflow by ext venting wastagate ... which is all too tempting as well! :D

Hi Boo5st,

yep got the dump pipe on, happy with the gains... much more poke in the midrange, less lag, and surprising how much smoother power delivery is ( I think this has to be somewhat due to the seperate wastegate pipe not interfering with the airflow coming off the turbine)..

Its not thermal wrapped or coated, may consider HPC later but there doesnt seem to be any underbonnet temp issues so it would only be to teduce spoolup times. If you want more details on the construction of the dump PM me and I will go through it.

Now just on to fit a HKS or Hybrid FMIC so I can safely lift my boost levels, and then off to SST for a Wolf3d plug and play :)

I figure I will run the stock turbo for a while, hoping around 180-190rwKw will keep me happy for a few months at least, then back in for a GCG hiflow or equivalent, fuel pump, fuel reg, retune and hopefully 230+ rwKw.

Gtst-Vspec - I would love to get a ride in yours sometime, get a feel for the setup you have with the Wolf3d - you still running stock turbo?

    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
