i've always thought that my car would have stock turbos which have not been high flowed but my friend raised an interesting point yesterday.. he thinks that i should try to put the boost upto 1.3, 1.4 or even 1.5 bar to see if the turbos have been high flowed or they r just stock ones... he says that if they r stock ones, the boost will just drop when been overboosted.. so no damage to the turbos or the engine... but i am wondering if i should do this or not coz i am worried about the negative damage it *might* cause...

what do u think guys??

If you do that the ceramic blades will fly off straight through your cut and both your turbo and cat will be ****ED!

Tell your friend to stop giving advice!

Also any "boost cut" that you hit will be caused by the ECU not turbo!

And that amount of boost might cause detonation which could **** your engine!

thanks for the advice guys... (i was gonna try it next monday at EC... :( thank God i posted this stupid idea here first..) i will stick with my "fast-but-got-used-to-and-need-more-neck-snapping-boost" 1.2bar .... :D

ps : my friend used to drive a 600+hp GTO so i thought he actually knew what he was talking about... it appears to be he has nfi just like me...~~ keke

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
