Attention steve :D

[hippy]

i got your dump pipe put in ... its good!! and yeah theres definitely a difference but i'm still running about 6-7 psi LOL ... gotta get a ebc ... i think my car is runnin much richer too ... got a question though ... i can't use the heat shield now with the dump pipe in there it will not fit in... theres no way to make it fit is there? so i think i may have to steal that CAI off ya also i think i may have to heat wrap the intake pipes LOL ... the other thing i did was put on the teins ... the ride is a bit bumpier but not that much ... i like it theres absolutely no body role and corners feel much easier to take LOL ... i think eventually your car will be mine steve LOL

[hippy]

is steve here??

[Steve]

Sorry, no way you can fit the heat shield, thats why the dump was wrapped, to keep the heat down.

If you are only getting 6-7psi, I would expect that you must have a pretty restrictive exhaust - sorry to say. I had 9psi with cat and cat back, about 10 when the dump went on.

The main difference I found with the dump though was not increase in boost, but a really early spool up. I started making boost around 2200-2300 and the mid range felt a bit crisper when at part throttle.

I have the partition here, pick it up anytime. It may not fit perfect, but it would make a pretty good template so you could customise one for your car - easy to make AND CHEAP lol

Good to hear the tiens arent kidney jarring - sounds like the same one's Enrico has.

PS sorry about the late reply - I did some work today;)

[hippy]

wow i think thats a first!!!

[hippy]

nah i dont' think its the exhaust being too restrictive .. i can't see how it can ... the only way to know is when i get the boost controller really .. but yeah the car is definitely 100% better especially now that i got a wheel alignment from bridgestone... free plug for bridgestone at mile end on henley beach road ... the guy was great .. cant' remember his name ... but i went to the one on gouger but it is closed due to renovations and the other guy said that that larry fella who all u guys love has left bridgestone and is now going to be working for the goverment?? ... guess hes following in steves footsteps ... but yeah now im taking corner faster without even hearing the wheels screech ... what a difference it makes!!!! ... the guy doing my car told me it was way off before he fixed it ... can't remember exactly what he said but it had 16mm toe in? or something like that?? LOL when it should be 2 hehehe

[hippy]

oh yeah do u think i have to heat wrap some of the pipes around the turbo?? i dont' want the heat to stuff it up cause its noticeably a bit hotter....

[Steve]

I am not sure about more heat wrapping, I only had the dump done and it seemed fine, didnt melt any wires or anything.

If you are worried just keep an eye on it, if anything looks like it is starting to show signs of heat fatigue, wrap it/shield it.

A bleeder shouldnt cost too much, and it will definately help, just dont wind in too much with the stock cooler or you will be needing a new turbo.

[hippy]

yeah well i dont' think i'll be upping the boost up too soon ... its summer and its getting very hot ... i'd rather the extra power going to my air con LOL

[EnricoPalazzo]

On that note, i think i should turn dowm my bleeder until i get that Front mount.

[hippy]

did u have any hassles putting urs on dean?? the bleeder i mean .. also did u notice heaps of difference it 3rd or 4th?? like did it rev much faster?

[Bl4cK32]

How much did it cost for your wheel align hippy, and what was done?

[hippy]

45 bucks i think at bridgestone mile end 125 henley beach road i think... they said rrp was like 59 bucks so i said .. cool

[hippy]

well to answer the second part of the question .. they did a 4 wheel alignment using their fancy hardware and computer ... notice quite an improvement ... in the morning my tyres were squeaking when i was turnin a little fast whereas in the afternoon they weren't squeaking at all and i was takin the corners a little faster since it was like 3 in the morning ...

[EnricoPalazzo]

I need a wheel alighnment. Also i can help u install the bleeder if u want.
