Just another point to check, I have a split dump pipe and when it was removed I looked inside it to where the split joins on, and the hole on the main pipe where the split pipe was welded to was no where near as big as the diameter of the wastegate pipe.

There would definately be a restriction to wastegate exhaust in this area. As far as I can see the only way to fix it would be to cut the dump pipe just behind where the split joins, and port out the hole with a die grinder or something.

KKR turbos run a Vband clamp setup, and as far as i know the only dump pipe for them is the one through otomoto (the turbo supplier) so its got nothing to do dump pipes (you can change the design for a v-band much at all) Its got to do with the wastegate design of the turbo itself, every KKR equipt skyline I have been in/driven/seen/read about boost spikes.

Bad exhaust housing/wastegate design, end of story.

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰

      Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!

      Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
