HEY NUBCAKEZ :( ...

I reckon, you should search the forum more and do some 'homework' ay, coz there's heaps of other mad doodz like you's who have got these on their cars, and av commented about the performance n shit, would help ya 2 not sound like such a noob ay.

With 35,000 members, there's a fair chance someone else has wondered about the same modification decisions as yourself.

Here's my 2c, but then dont mistake me for someone who actually knows stuff;

Split dumps are a better design and should make more power/spool better, but they are more tightly tied to turbo size (turbine diameter and wastegate diameter). If you get split dumps designed for a standard sized turbo, and try to bolt them up to a larger turbo you may have problems.

Open dumps are much less sensitive to turbo size, but wont work as efficiently.

I wouldn't worry too much about dump pipes as with a stock 33 turbo at 14 psi you'll be replacing that soon.

drop it down a couple pounds, you'll find the performance difference won't we noticeable anyway.

fwiw i have a jjr split dump/front and am quite happy with it.

Here we go...

In theory the split piping would give you more power but you would need at least 500ps-600ps atw to see the 5ps difference on the dyno. so the power difference is really small. If you were to use a bellmouth type and then drive using a split piping, you wouldnt be able to tell much of a difference. this was told to me when i was making the same decision as well.

also if you were going to upgrade your turbo in the near future to something bigger, then you would have to change to the bellmouth type anyways, only because the clearance on the wastegate with the split piping is too small.

HEYZ!

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
