damit, last time i asked that question to somone, they said, you shouldnt do it because you should need some restriction in your exhaust, but im running 12 pound and at about 4-5 thou, it flattens off, now im not the most knowledgable in the art of turbos, but could the standard dump pipe be whats holding it back and making it flatten off?

Def get a dump pipe.. pref bellmouth - have a look under the traders section.

Just a word tho - You might get some boost creep. I used to get bad creep, but that could partially be because i dont have any pussies in my exhaust. Fixed with an ebc and pulls 10times harder then with the stock solenoid or the turbosmart boost tap

^^ boost creep happens with poorly made split dump pipes, the wastegate flap fouls on the separator on the dump. Hence your boost goes UP with RPM.

You can't fix boost creep with an EBC, if your wastegate will only half open then boost will go up no matter what the EBC does. You're describing something else, like boost spiking caused by a shitty bleed valve (you set it to 10psi and it spikes to 12psi before settling down to 10).

does anyone know where you can get 3 inch dump pipes for an r33? also, is it worth installing on a 12 psi stock turbo with a 3 inch exhaust? cheers

Recommended upgrade.

www.justjap.com sell JJR 3" stainless steel bellmouth dump/front pipe for $199. Do you have a 3" high flow catayltic converter as well?? ...or no cat will do. :D

i would NOT use one on my car!

grab a justjap stainless bellmouth dump/front in one! and a 3" catco highflow cat from them, those two together were the best money i have spent!

    • No requirement for JDM vehicles,  which the 33 is, maroney label only needed in the US market for new cars I believe (Federal law stuff) Google knows all
    • Hopefully you can just unbolt them, thank them for their service, then bin them and not replace them Apparently the sensors like to set them off with only minor impacts at low speed It looks like they do a delete kit for some of these, but, it is costly 
    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
