I know the front section would be single entry rather than dual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exhaust Back pressure test is not hard to do but you do need to drill and tap the exhaust system to insert the probes off the guages. A 100 cell cat is almost no cat at all btw.And - I respect the other opinions on here and will never dispute the results obtained - but I still say the cooler is the issue.

rapid6turbo Member 56 Member For: 11y 9m 30d Gender: Male Posted 16/11/14 01:28 AM Author Share Posted 16/11/14 01:28 AM I went and measured the intercooler. Its 450x300x76mm, but the core is stamped ADRAD top and bottom. is that still a Monza or just an ADRAD made core?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intake temps were not too high so appears to be a flow issue rather than lack of cooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only so much you can do yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the tune to be the max power it can produce currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
