Awesome. I found a HPI combo dump and front pipe for $650 which is a 2.75" out dump to 3" front pipe. Reasonable?

I've just heard the stock system can choke and strain the standard turbo and after time it'll fail(myth?)Would like to avoid a blown turbo atleast until I decide to do the MR turbo..

[kaitoukid]

i'll keep it stock, he said

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

do you even need to do the MR turbo

aparently the stocker can hit 220 odd

[Sunkist]

Apparently yeh.. The stocker can hit 220. Unaware of whether its a ceramic wheel though.

Ill still be keeping it stock. Just a bit worried as its cheaper to do an exhaust, then getting bits of turbo out of your engine if it blows

[xALmoN]

i dont think the mitsu turbos are ceramic at all.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

pretty sure it's all good man

[Sunkist]

Well then no reason to do an exhaust just yet. Stock it is

[Down_Shift]

lol trying to find an excuse to justify your modding bug i see, eh eh?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

do exhaust for sure.... jjust leave the turbo for now

Yeah I would avoid the combo ones if they are one piece, my mate got a MAP 1 piece and its a pain in the arse to take off and put on

I'd get two separate pieces myself

yeah that's at its max, the MR only has a larger turbine housing and the 9 has larger comp and turbine housing

Not ceramic, and won't really damage anything but you will notice a lot more response mostly from upgrading them, as well as power

8MR turbos are cheap, I picked one up for $350 delivered from the US

[KURAUN]

buy 8RS turbo..... titanium wheels and even more responsive than an 8MR about $1k to $1500 though

[Sunkist]

Yeh was trying real hard to justify it lol.

Nah the combo was a two piece that deletes the need for that gay spring setup on the dump. Looked fairly cheap for what it is. I think making up a custom dump would be too hard. But I'd rather leave this turbs on for a long while.. If I upgrade the turbo it will only be if I build the motor, and it will be a gt30 lol

[KURAUN]

Oh yeah. The spring thing isn't so bad though, will never leak with how tight it always stays

If you can find a cheap mr turbo for time being, chuck it on when you do dump front. Will have so much more fun

[KyuubiGTR]

dont be a sissy...build the motor your getting a daily anyway! siff you dont want 300 awkw with a obnoxiously huge gate mmmmmmm gate

Doesn't sound like a very good price...
