Just installed a 3" dump/front pipe and was wondering if anyone know how much performance gain from stock standard dump/front? i can now reallyy feel the pull and the turbo spoof's up really fast. Will this increase my PSI automatically? anyone know roughly how many KW's will i gain?

Cheers dudes.

I experimented with my current exhaust and did the front half first instead of catback and I got a fair amount of shove in the midrange with my front/dump pipe. And on the niose factor I can hear the spool a lot clearer and louder. Can't wait to do the rest...

I've posted a dyno sheet on here which shows how much faster my stock turbo spooled up after fitting a dump+front pipe. Full boost by 2600rpm, still using a crappy 2.5" cat. The car will feel much quicker to drive and generally more fun, however the peak gain for me was only 10HP though much better midrange.

Ummm, I cant remember the thread I made up, I think the file is called dyno245.jpg do a search on that. If not I have the file at home, pm me your email and I can send it to you. The other thing I have noticed that my boost has krept up from 0.8bar to almost 0.9bar after fitting the trust fmic and the dump+front pipe.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
