I am gonna be installing a series 1 rb25 turbo onto my r32gtst this weekend. I have the entire rb25 turbo, except this 3 bolt inlet pipe thing that I happened to accidently leave at the shop I bought it from. What I need to know is will this peice be the same from my rb20, or do I need to look one up somewhere??? The peice I am referring to is like a 90 degree bend that bolts on with three long 10mm bolts. It attaches to the cold side outlet.... Will the one from my car bolt to this turbo? Also, all of the hoses, lines, inlets, outlets, and everything else just bolt right up, correct? Last thing. Can I use the wastegate actuator fom my car safely without any tuning for a few weeks? 10lbs from a rb25 turbo wont be too much without a tune will it? My only nother mods are a walbro, 3" from in front of the cat, and a pod filter. (also adding a FMIC when we swap the turbos).

I have some basic mods. RB25 turbo. Walbro. Nismo reg. 3 inch decat and all the way to rear. Old azz AFC with dials! An E-bay I/C thats tooo big. I live in the US (only a few miles from yhat companies store in North Carolina). My question is, for the money difference, would I be better off to order a 3" from out of the country, and hope it gets here, or would the 2.5 inch "E-bay knockoff" be OK? If its like a coulpe of HP less then I wanna get it, but if it is no better than what I have stock then no way. Ps. I plan on getting a 3" up pipe at the same time of course. Pss. How large is the factory piping? Thanks yall.

Thanks guys. I'm just gonna get a reular divorced tube that goes back in kinda deal. I know I probably wont ever hear the leak over all the other sounds my car makes, but it will never seem right to me. I guess I will wait till I have a real turbo and w/g to get the sounds that go with em. LOL. I did not search to check, but do any of you guys use the american made cheapo SSautochrome dump pipes? Some of their stuff is crap, but a dump pipe is what it is as long as it is 3" and dosnt crack twice a year on me. If you happen to read this, and you have one, could you please chime in with your experiences.

Holey crap! That thing looks terrible. I can see how it would leak all the time. The other ones I've been looking at on here with the little protruding pipe thingy seem like they would be much better than that thing. Ugh. My final question before giving up on this is... Does the little exhaust leak sound like a tick, sorta like a leaky gasket, or is it a smooth enough sound that you do not notice so much??? You fellas have been very helpful, even if it means I'm probably not getting this thing now.

So you guys are saying that the pipe that extends into the tubine housing and looks like it almost touches the blades(I know it dosnt, just using for refference), will seal off all of the main exhaust gas from the waste gate exhaust. Correct? When I'm criusing along at less than my wastegated boost pressure, the "screamer" will be completely silent, correct? Then, at Max boost, it will make a whistling sound mixed with an open down -pipe kinda sound. Correct? When I release the throttle, it will also flutter a little before the BOV can catch up to it. Correct? Sorry to be a pain, just learning somethin' new here. Thanks for your replies so far.

I searched all over, and hav'nt gotten an answer that stops my mind from mulling over this yet. On a car with an internal gate and a dump pipe with the open "screamer", how does the dump seal off from the screamer to keep it from being a continuous exhaust leak from the screamer it's self? Someone is selling them on here for 32s and 33s, and I really want one, but I just cant see it sealing up. I see that they have a piece of pipe extending into the exhaust housing, but is that enough to seal it up? I would love some input from some of the fellas who have purchased, and are using one of these. Also, this may be a dumb question, but if I dont mind the loudness of my straight 3" exhaust with straight thru muffler, or the sound of an open pop-off valve...will this thing be ear peircing, head ache inducing loud? Or will it be just another turbo sound to add to the list. Once again, opinions from those with ANY kind of screamer pipe, internal gate or external would be very helpful. Thanks in advance for your help guys.
