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 :D lol

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

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 :D .. 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 :D hehehe

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.

      Dumb rich kid tries modding for the first time

      By Hexi · Posted

      Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"

      Stagea throttle body sensor help rb25det neo

      From what I am discovering, the grey plug is auto signal. If you car is manual it's not relevant to your set up man.

      Yeah, but the country is turning to a bit of shite at the moment... (Majority of work is NZ'ers, and we have an office in NZ I deal with daily...)

      Trans oil cooler off a Stagea

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If it came off a Skyline you could easily have sold it for $500 to someone wanting OEM parts to return their car to stock. Not sure if that market is in the Stageas or not.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It sounds "expensive" when compared to a mass produced tow bar that gets imported from China, but if that's all custom fabrication, then I think where you've ended up, it's a pretty good price! Considering some people will pay thousands of dollars for a few intercooler pipes to be welded up!
