I can make a 3'' front pipe for you for about $150, they are a easy as to make and would be able to do it in about an hour if you brought the car to me at work, the dump pipe from the turbo is a lot harder to make and wont give much gains with stock turbo, a big cat is important also.

Cool Bro that would be awsome! , Let me know when you can do it... can it be done on a weekend??

I am def keen to do that, $150 would be sweet as.

Whenever u can do it I will be in.

I live not far from andy at Fulham Gardens, and work in the city.

So dump pipe not worth it then? , I dont know what type of Cat I have. I dont know how to tell between high flow and normal.

the dump pipe is may be worth doing but costs lots more, the front pipe gave me about 1psi gain in boost and felt alot better,I can do it on the weekend for you, the workshop is in burton witch is off port waikfield road about 10 mins before you get to air drag strip. The high flow cat is 3'' in size and is bigger about 300mm long a standard one would be alot smaller.

Cool man this weekend?

I would def be up for that, I want to get both the front and dump pipe done at the same time so I dont have to worry about doing it at a later stage. I dont really mind how much extra it costs.

Let me know for either this saturday or sunday, any day is good for me.

Hmm def have to get a high flow cat I think if i dont have already

I havent done a dump pipe for a internal wastegate turbo yet so as much as I know I could do it i would want to do it on my car first so I can figure out what to do as it is a bit tricky. If you find one I could fit it but they are about 300 alone, what other mods do you plan on doing as there would be little gains from it as it is not too restrictive.

I can do it this weekend if you like mate, probably saturday would be best just have to get a few parts so let me know if you want to do it.

A high flow cat would get better results or none at all if you are game.

Yeah I could do a full exhast would have to work out a price though I mainly just do the pipe work so if you got a muffler I could fit the lot, may be worth looking for a second hand system from an importer it would be cheaper, i can only do it in mild steel as well stainless costs to much

My mobile number is 0418815974

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
