Only if it's blocked.... Ive made 290kw with a blitz return flow.... I'd eliminate the boost tee first. My mods are similar to yours.

what size is the rear housing on the turbo? also that graph isn't that helpful...do they have one that shows rpm as well as afr?

Big ups for Tao especially for the Highflow and SS2 offerings. I've been running a 21U highflow now for almost 5 years.

The latest one has the ATR compressor housing with the latest wastegate and exhaust wheel design.

On a standard engine, standard exhaust manifold, standard intake manifold, greddy cooler & havoc hard intake pipe with a Z32 & 850cc injectors it makes over 300kw on pump E85 with 18PSI peak bleeding to 16PSI at the top.

But it's not the peak power figure that I love, it's the response and delivery of torque.

or just a basic MAC valve and let your ECU control it (if it has the capabilities), there's no way a bleed valve can surpass an EBC which runs in close loop oscillating to control the boost.

I don't think the advantages of a EBC are drastic enough to correct a ~50rwkw deficit.

My TurboTech made 270rwkw no worries at 19psi and held it perfectly on an OP6 highflow.

I do agree, but if he is looking to replace the boost tee as a possible source of power loss then I think he should get an EBC whilst he is at it. There are many advantages/features in running one.

Hey tao how much is your Hypergear ls20.5g? Is it best run with a external gate and good high mount manifold? Or is there a bolt on version you make with stock rb25 6 bolt rearr.? Id probably prefer a vband rear. Make the price with the lines and whatever else ill need? Will it make 330-350kw at the wheels on e86/wmi and 270 ish kw on plain 98? Also how good does the adaptronic go compared to the likes of Vi-Pec/Link/Haltech ect in plug/play versions ofc. What can you do the Adaptronic for $$$'s wise with the sensors ill need and everything to just plug it in and set it up to go haha

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
