If I got PW stepped cooler with piping and want go to a turbo side intake and loose crossover.Will I need to change hotside piping? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yes it was spirited driving,and by the end the thing went so slow a stock xt falcon would have pumped us. I can get the first half of my cooler hot with some spirited driving. So no, intercooler performance is required all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(only basing this on the 2 PW group buys you organised hahaha) For someone who doesn't go track or to the strip what is best? So I'm talking almost daily driver (to/from work around 50kms each way and in stop/start traffic therefore taking up to 1 hour to drive) and with the occasional thrash every now and then (usually one or two good squirts....then maybe 5-10mins normal driving, then maybe a few more thrashes - but never continuous WOT like would be experienced at the track).....

Not so fussed about cutting anymore (in Perth) - seems like everyone here does it anyways?For my use as mentioned above which would you recommend? (Darren from Monsta Torque over here in Perth said the Stage 2 works more efficiently and better than stage 1 and apparently doesn't really like the Plaz gear?).Choices are: 1) PW Stage 1 2) PW Stage 23) Plaz 800HP4) Plaz 1000HP Looking for 300-320rwkw first tune....I don't think I will want to go past 350-370rwkw ever (cause can't afford to rebuild/strengthen ZF). I will also have Plaz Turbo side but apparently all piping kits mentioned above will clear it (PW only just clears apparently?)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
