You will get better throttle response either way. And with the stock turbo i doubt you would be able to tell the difference between the two.

I had a split dump pipe on my car ages ago and i thought it was a great little upgrade.

correct me if i'm wrong, but split pipes are meant to work better (in theory) due to the turbulent air coming out of the turbo.. by splitting the wastegated exhaust down a separate pipe and re-joining the main flow at a later point where the turbo's air is less turbulent, it allows better flow for the wastegated gasses. This should allow for better flow.

however if the wastegate side of the split dump isn't large enough it could cause over boost (as Pal is experiencing) ..

ive got the first one....fitted up pretty easy, definetly increased resonse and also a slight increase in psi (1-2psi).

bolted up nicely, just one bolt was abit hard to get to, but i just cut my open ended spanner in half so i can get in there and tighten it up

overall good product

chuck on a 3.5" hi flow cat while ur at it

:D

15psi on a stock turbo? It wont last long if you are

Either way, any of the products on offer from the traders will do.

Your not running a 300rwkw+ setup, so you don't need to spend up on custom, off the shelf is fine

There was a test i read once on large dump pipes versus split ones and the results were a higher low-mid torque increase using the HKS split dump pipe.

Top end power on the HKS was higher too but only marginally. CES was tested as the best as the split has the longest distance from the gate but its also probably the most pricey.

For me; im going tomei as i believe the differences would be so small, not really noticible.

i got the just jap bell mouth and the xforce high flow cat, now running 10-11psi, vast improvement....

when i got my car dyno'd the other week it got 159.5rwkw with just exhaust/ front/dump and high flow cat running stock boost.... the stock r33's and r34's were getting 125-135rwkw, so quite a bit of power increase over stock

and 15psi on your stock turbo??????? you must want an excuse to high flow yours lol...

and unless your planning to get over 250rwkw i wouldnt bother choosing between the split or bellmouth pipes, even then you wouldn't really feel much of a difference..... a dyno machine will see it but i doubt you'll feel it...

hey guys im not running a stock turbo.

ive got a GT30r 500hp roller, this is why im asking the difference.

im going for 300kw....eventually

i had it at 248rwkw but the injectors were maxxd out so im running at 221rwkw now....

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
