adding a dump pipe won't increase the boost unless it is a poor design and doesn't alloy the wastegate to flow properly.

unless you have an aftermarket ecu you won't be able to run 15psi anyway, although you would gain power from doing it, but you may find your turbo doesn't last very long before it goes on a diet (and the exhaust wheel comes off the turbo and makes friends with your catalytic converter)

if a dump pipe is costing you $1500, i really suggest you find a new place to shop unless you get a shag every night for a week from a really hot chick with it. just get a cheap split dump pipe for about $100. i had one on my 33 and it worked fine.

i would also get a fmic kit, especially if you are running 12psi through the stock one. the stock cooler will suffer heat soak after only a few hard accelerations and basically won't be doing much cooling after that.

nah..! that price includes the dump,r33 front mount and fitted an a service..! not to bad.. cheap. think ill keep the 12psi but.. dont want to kill the turbo.. yet!

$2k?

I would spend 600 on a stage 2 advanced driving course and 1400 on a set of track tyres. you've already got everything else you need to go quick in the car

u dont think i need a front mount an dump pipe to give that little extra..?

you do NEED a front mount. as mad082 mentioned earlier that the stock cooler will be suffering from heat soak.

get the dump pipe.

go get a nistune done as well and that will keep you happy for the time being.

yer i think that is the go for sure.. do u think that will give me close to 200rwkw..? thats really all iam aiming for off this car.?

the issue with the stock turbo is the ceramic exhaust wheel. when they are highflowed they usually have a steel wheel put on (as where it sits is made larger so needs a larger wheel). the limit to what you can run then is then down to mods and what pressure it stops making power, but would be well above 15psi

    • 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?
