Hi all, I am now running atr45sat with stock dump, hks front pipe, stock cat(empty inside ) , trust pe2 catback on my gtt. Only manage to get round 350 [email protected] told me to the main issue is the dump pipe. I have a few options in my mind now, wishing to seek advise from experts here. 
1: possible to get a 3inch elbow dump (tomei/hpi) to pair up with my hks front pipe and  a xforce  hi flow cat? 
2: hks elbow dump ,hks front pipe ,xforce hi flow cat.

3:tomei/hpi elbow , with Japspeed full 3inch front pipe, xforce hi flow cat

my concern is the fact that the inlet of my hks front is 2.5 Inch, only the outlet is 3inch, if I use a 3inch elbow, will it affect the flow? (That’s why I am contemplating to get the japspeed front pipe, looks like it’s 3inch both inlet and outlet ) 

Ps:due to local authority restriction , I need to have my cat intact , and I cannot do ewg. 

any advise will be greatly appreciated

Well, it’s really a pain in the ass for car modification here. Yes I can run a cat with single piece bell mouth, but since the oem part come with elbow and a connecting front pipe, I am not allowed to change to a single piece . Therefore my options are limited , and I wish to make the best out of the limited options, so any more advise will be greatly appreciated !

Fitting a bigger turbo is somewhat in the grey zone, usually if it’s still on factory’s mounting position, you can get away with it. As for the exhaust system, they are super strict with it, we are only allowed SOME jasma approved catback . And as for front pipe, I am using hks, but I wrap it with the stock shield . I am located in Singapore .

That's our GTSBoy, doesn't just think outside the box; he cuts the box in half and puts a flange on it. Ideal way to go. 

For a real oem look, you could even weld on some brackets to the dump and bolt the stock heatshield to it....possibly.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
