I am now going down the path of an external gate and new dump pipe so I will let you know how I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is definitely the way to go, and as you say makes for much better drivability and predicatability...Cheers,Ben...PS my pistons have finally arrived so things might start moving in the 'coming to get ya' stakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New exhaust manifolds, hi-flow turbo's or bigger turbo's, ext gates, it is great to see.I remember not that long ago, 350rwkw was a huge figure to have. Now youre not even in the game with that...... and I love it!Keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
