Has anyone got any ideas.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Who ever is telling you to change the dump pipe at 217rwkw's is an idiot or trying to rip you off. I still have the factory dump pipe at 385rwkw's and running mid 10's.Who is tuning your car and how many custom tunes have they done. With edit alone you should be able to get 240rwkw's without many problems.Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have had a solonoid problem or actuator problem because C\V should know it doesn't need a dump pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
