New Dump? Worth It?

[Kingers.]

Ok well my car goes in for a tune in a few weeks, got new I/c injectors and fee other little bits and pieces, now I've got a high flow cat to go in and apart from having the centre removed that's all that's getting done to the exhaust. So I'm wondering if it's going to be worth getting a new dump pipe put on? I'm happy with the way the car sounds now, it sounds tuff and I like it, so I'm not sure if I wanna go to the length of changing the whole system, if I were it'd prob be a rapids 3.5" system or maybe a twin xforce system.

So is it gonna be worth me getting a new dump? If so what should I be looking at? Or I'm thinking is it going to be worth me getting the turbo ported and flapper mod done? Looking to hit into the 300 but I'm looking for the car to be safe and reliable, the car does get driven hard at times so looking to get the car to make power easier without having to stress stuff

Cheers

I'd put the money towards the actuator, port/flapper mod.. The cat and delted centre muff will handle 300 fine..

Go for dump, will help turbo spool up alot quicker meaning more tourqe low down for higher power an also waaay better induction sound!!!!!!

Spoke to the tuner and going with the turbo port, seems to be the better option, still deciding whether or not to put a new dump on as well, would only be somethin like the xforce 4 in dump if I were to

Mate go the dump, I ordered my 4"inch xforce from rapid last week, I will let you know next week if its the goods or not, I went mild steel cause im sending that and my exhaust housing for ceramic coating to help keep under bonnet temps down, but the dump will take that strain off the turbo, and spool quicker like previously said, and the wastegate port and actuator helps with boost control consistantly.

May seem like a stupid question but can I fit this myself? Or does it need to be welded in?

one side will fit on to the turbo.. but the other side going in to the cat/exshaust. will need to welded or made to join because the stock pipes are smaller

I would rather do the flapper mod! you want to control boost before you put on a dump pipe

[Buf-Phoon]

controlling boost is one thing, back pressure another.

Anyone can jam in boost to make a number

Do it right, do both

Ok thanks thought it'd need to be welded. The turbo is defiantly getting ported it was the dump I was unsure of. But seems iteould be a good idea to get one so I may aswell do it. Thanks for the help fellas
