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.

$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

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
