Besides the blacked out lights, I don't see that much looks-wise difference between an 8MR and 8GSR...

Not to mention as over-done as some might say it is, 9 rear bar definitely ftw. Front bar I'm a fan of the 8 nose chop, else probably prefer the 9 front to the 8 yet again.


Although the standard lights are pretty ugly haha, definitely on the to-do list... *looks at Aaron*

Haha, yeah, Gunmetal Grey is baws. Mate's is that colour, tis hawt. I also like the Blue the 9's came in - more metallic than any of the other colours.

I would've probably gone Yellow given any choice, though :P.

Re 'eternal battle': As a daily, I can not refute my CT9A choice. Some CP9A's do look the goods though! And yeah, like I said, I'll probably go down the nose-chop route... just not very high priority :P

272rwkw @ 16psi on United 85

RacePace "high flow" cat gave me another 10rwkw. So yeah, top end a little disappointing...prolly the small turbo maxing out...along with internal wastegate and a myriad of other "stock" looking restrictions...but the low and mid range are significantly better. I have near stock response with about 130rwkw more than stock. Car sounds beast and the exhaust smell is <3

Happy camper. Will upload graph when I get home :)

More boost was giving nothing more, so Chris scaled it back to the highest boost that made a worthwhile difference. Another factor that makes me think the turbo was struggling. Nice and safe for my engine at least.

What was it on 98? ~250? That's not a bad power hike

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
