I think in reality any a/market dump pipe will give you an increase over the factory unit. One factor is that the bellmouth will fit ALL a/market turbo upgrades running the same flange pattern.

But each worm to their own. ?

So Scotty, you fit that GTX in keeping the same dump pipe? :whistling:

We've opened that can of worms before, and I don't believe anyone has ever been able to prove either way?

Spoke to Andrew about it, and it sounds like a good Bellmouth beats a crap split, and vice versa.

He has found merging the gases later works better - and I can't argue with him. Power and boost increases I saw on the dyno backs him up.

We have had that discussion before. :)

Split would work well if you merge the screamer in just before the cat into a larger pipe imo, even better with an external gate. Its all down to the flow capabilities at the end of the day and my dump is 3.5 inch verses the 2.5 of Andrew's before the wastegate opens.

I have started on the 0.82 stainless housing mods for mine, the GTX3076 has the same housings as the GTX3071 so it will fit, and flow more than the GT35 according to the compressor flow graph.

I got a full custom exhaust from the dump pipe back custom made by my local guy who's done work on all my cars and a few mates cars for only $1130.

3" stanless steel with Xforce 100 cell cat, resonator and muffler.

as for quality and sound its fricken awesome, just ask the boys, Craig, Dale, Iain and Andy they've all seen it up on a hoyst and heard it running.

as my guy said to me even if you buy an exhaust kit you'll most likely have to spend a few hundred just getting it modified and/or mounted onto the car anyway......... so i just chose to support him cos i knew he could do what i wanted.

You missed the bit where I said "same flange"! External gate V band is not the same flange!

Must have missed the dyno results too...

Scotty, hurry up and finish your setup! That way I can buy one set of injectors rather than buying one set now, and upgrading later! Get the Fcon tuned yet?

No mate, I was waiting for you... to send me a copy of your map. :)

Whats the issue with going to 1000's off the bat?

Lol righto, better get on it then.

No issue going 1000s off the bat as long as they'll be happy at ~50%. Once I've done that I'll be looking at keeping it as is for a few months then drop a turbo in.

My wife and I decided, after some words were thrown about that thankfully bubs couldn't hear whist "baking" away, that regardless of whether they take the car or not we would begin the sensible shift to a wagon to fit bubs and the two dogs.

Hi

Now I've got even more bad news for you. Contrary to popular belief, bubs "baking" away can hear what you say even whilst in the "oven". Thats how they know who you are as they can hear the sound of your voice, and hence they bond with you later on! Hope it doesn't ruin your day too much!! :3some:

Hahaha, nah havent ruined anything, though I argue the point as they only develop their hearing when they are around 20weeks. We found out about the car when bubs was around the 10-12wk mark so very unlikely that they heard anything. =)

It's certainly reacting to voices and sounds now as it dances around when the Mrs plays certain bands/groups. Whether its dancing in distaste or enjoyment is often argued, haha :bunny:

Just got confirmation that to get the Fujitsubo Legalis landed will be around $1,499 (but no more). That's a bit for a cat-back system where there is turbo-back options available for $1,570 locally. Almost seems like a no-brainer to go with the local options...

Opinions? :huh:

The obvious thing would be to "Audition" the local offering if you're not too far away; that way you could confirm/eliminate it as an option without having to spend anything.

I have a Legalis; and I love it. I only paid $950 for mine, so it was a pretty easy decision.

Who was that price through? I'm sure people on here have paid closer to $1k through Jesse Streeter. Seems a lot...

Yeah, i agree that it seems a little high... The quote was through TurboAlpha imports and was a worst case, landed scenario. I might contact Jesse Streeter and see whether he can provide a landed quote.

Auditioning may not be a bad idea, thanks Dale. Curious, was $950 landed or just the purchase price? If its landed and I can get a similar deal then the decision would be an easy one to make =)

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
