when using one of those JJR split dump/front pipes on a standard turbo around 12psi most people run into boost creep issues because of the wastegate flap fouling on the pipe

would this still happen on a highflow ?(the standard highflow from hypergear)

would preloading the wastegate make any difference? or would i have to modify the actual dump pipe

(i havnt actually seen how the wastegate fouls on the dumps so im just going of what ive read)

It fouls on the pipe on the inside, you need to clean out the inside to clear it. (Or i did anyway) High flow of not, its still opening in the same place :blush:

My advice is to sell it, and get a bellmouth made up, or get a front pipe, and have a dump made. The splits seem to cause problems.

Even after cleaning mine up, letting the wategate clear, it was still spiking. So i got a custom front/dump made and havnt had problems since.

You call though.

well my turbos getting highflowed atm. if its just die grinding and test fitting should be fairly easy as it'll all be off the car.

did u get a custom split or bellmouth made up? how much did it cost?

i had a big problem with boost creep when running a split dump on my high flow. i the end i put a 2 1/2 inch restrictior plate in the exhaust to hold the boost down to 12 psi until i got injectors in and then let it go to 15 psi. i also put a bell mouth on and still boost creeped. i also think the tune had a bit to it as a rich tune will put more fuel in and cause more exhaust gasses.

boost creep sucks! on my hks 2530 on my old RB20.. ihad a split dump and boost creep was crazy.. i pissed the split dump pipe off and got a nice 3.5" made by an exhaust shop.. all under 200 $$ and now no more boost creep! the problem was the wastgate flap would hit on the small split pipe and wouldnt give it enuph room to open fully to hold the boost!

    • 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
