Tried searching but must be hopeless at using it. Also the 25 thread is full of small turbo results.

Have a 25 with a 3582r plain wheel turbo.

I have a full 3 inch turbo back exhaust with a resonator and rear cannon on it but I'm struggling with small amount of exhaust backpressure pushing open gate under full noise.

I am thinking the dump pipe might be a tad small With the wastegate plumbed back in. I'm aiming for 500+ (currently at 471hp).

looking at what people's opinions/experirence are on What size exhaust they have.

I have enough room for 4 inch but don't want to go oversized if not necessary.

Go with posts.

A free flowing exhaust would just make it worse I think. You need to increase the wastegate actuator spring tension to help hold the manifold pressure in.

What is your base (minimum) actuator pressure?

4" = no restriction.

Saying that, plenty of people have made 500bhp on a proper 3" exhaust with open screamers.

Personally I'd go with a 3.5" dump to tip, magnafolw muffler and a free flowing rear can of choice... Here's the thing though, make the waste-gate dump pipe larger and longer than you might think. Run it right down and merge it just before the cat in a nice long, shallow angle transition.

i have 14psi actuator springs in. its a turbosmart 50mm gate.

I cant stand the sound of a screamer pipe so plumbback is a MUST..
the gate pipe is about 60cm long joining in just before the cat area so i think having a bigger diameter exhaust in a copy of current setup will do the trick.

I just dont want to go to hassle of doing 3.5inch only to need a 4 inch down the track

There is no oversize with a dump pipe imho. 4" will work fine.

However I don't think that's your issue, you should be able to get away with a 3". Have you tried a heavier WG spring as mentioned above?

i have changed the way the gate signal is being sent and it helped sort of. its either 16psi base and wont bleed past 21psi as a single connection onto wastegate or as a 2 port connection its 23psi minimum bleeding up to the 26psi wanted.

I would like to run 18psi low and 26psi high settings so changing the spring pressure up closer to higher settings is something im trying to avoid

At what boost? 7psi is fark all spring...

I am running 26psi of spring, and after a few track days the tension has dropped back, now it only runs 19 psi off the spring. If you plumb pressure onto the top of the gate also you should be ok either way, mine easily runs a flat 32psi now with the 5 port Mac.

I have a 3 inch dump, and 2 inch off the 45mm gate. As long as they flow well and merge gradually into a 3.5 inch free flowing system you should crack 400kw with it fairly easily. Mine would be making that if I had a manual box...

22 psi, barely falls over any more than half a pound at 7700. Im running e-boost and pressure to both sides of gate respectively

Is that no fit in a r32 with a 25 in it stao? What fouled?.

I want to run plumbed in no matter what so can't include screamer. I prefer to hear the engine while its making noises not finding out after when its brokent

It shouldn't make noises :/

Kurtis ran 500hp with the gate plumbed back and 3inch system....

Mine is a screamer so results are irrelevant I guess.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
