looks great mate, what suspension setup did you go with for that height?

Stop f*cking around with rubbish and order a turbo side intake and you can dose for days.

FG plenum has seen well over 500rwkw, its designed a lot better than the b series manifold.

Good stuff, The old one needed updating a long time ago, worth a sticky I reckon.

But I though the higher number means the centre wheel hub (where the wheel bolts on, is moved further away from the centre of the rim (outwards from the car) Wouldn't that mean the Less the number the closer the spoke will come to the brake?

Hey guys I'm looking to get the vertini dynasty wheels and had a question regarding offset. Its for a FG ute with normal brake callipers. I'm going for the concave look so I plan on getting 10" rears with +15 offset. The fronts I want 8.5" but not sure what offset to get? The ute in the below photo has 8.5" +20 on the front but he has to clear his brembo's, would I be able to go 8.5 + 10 or +15?

Yes new wheel also sorry. Had the ute on the hoist last week and found that one of the exhaust pipes was rubbing on the Tail shaft, where the 2 piece shaft joins in the middle, Took it to an exhaust place on the weekends and he welded in an extra bracket, lowering the exhaust, all good now. Also got him to weld in the EGT probe in the dump pipe while I was there. Im now on the hunt for new wheels, leaning towards the Vertini Dynasties in black.

Good stuff mate, love the Gold on the fgx, welcome to the forums

Stock turbo modified

So I got the EGT probe welded into the dump pipe today and the exhaust lowered a fraction more as one of the pipes was rubbing on the tailshaft where it connects in the centre. Was also wondering about how legal is everything I have under the bonnet? Should I need to worry about police defecting anything? Cheers

So I got the bung welded in today and the probe set, when cruising it usually sits around 350-400degree, and increases when your on the pedal.

Of course! Not that id know what readings I'm actually looking at. I don't even know what EGT readings to expect lol.

Is your probe in the dump pipe? I know the best place for them is before the turbo, but I'm not bothering doing it in the manifold. Just going to be in the dump pipe.

Just to keep an eye on things, good way to know if its running lean etc, I know that heat is the main killer of these engines. Can never be to careful!

Hey guys, Im taking the ute in to get the temperature probe sensor welded into my dump pipe, the exhaust is already fitted to the ute and I was wondering do I need to worry about any swarf/metal filings going into the dump pipe, my way of thinking is being after the turbo I shouldn't have anything to worry about? All they need to do is drill about a 10mm hole and weld the fitting in place. Thanks
