Had it tuned 6 weeks ago and made 282 but was laggy and max boost was 12 psi. When I went back it was only making 242 and running about 8 psi.A bit of fiddling saw 268 at 11 psi so the exhaust was dropped off and the car instantly made 304 proving issues with exhaust beig very restrictive.I need to do wastegate actuator and retune anyway. I may aswell not mess around with the exhaust as its stock just with a cat and it is proven to be quite a problem.It's one of those all or nothing situations if I am going to repair the flapper and actuator and retune I may aswell do the exhaust and get some real results..

discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 2m 28d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 09/11/12 11:16 AM Share Posted 09/11/12 11:16 AM (edited) If possible try to get mild with stainless mufflers, bloke on here reckoned it was awesome. You get the deeper note of mild but with crackle of stainless.I had a good exhaust place here in WA quote me up on reducing drone from my 2x2.5" manta mild steel system, it has a very small rear muffler. They said stainless and bigger muffler would make it a bit better, about $400-440 from memory.Anyone else able to comment on mild pipes/stainless mufflers?

I won't to get about 320rwkw and ill be happy, then when it sh*ts its self FG motor in and bigger turbo and all the another sh*t theses things are money pit lol.

pac23 Member 103 Member For: 12y 9m 26d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 09/11/12 08:11 PM Share Posted 09/11/12 08:11 PM I wouldn't worry about the flapper mod if the turbo didnt have to come off for the actuator and flapper to be repaired anyway.I have be honest I didn't expect to see 35rwkw restriction out of the standard exhaust with 100cpi cat. There is definitely an issue with the exhaust.Better off leaving the car stock once it all goes wrong makes me wonder why I got started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
