Hi

i just brought a dump/front pipe in 1. I was wondering should i fit it myself,

has anyone installed it by there self. the only problem i can see is getting to the bottom bolts were it join's to the turbo do you get those from undernith. also

can you use the factory gaskets? would i be just wasting my time? and get someone else to put it in.

any thoughts

Where did you get the front+dump in one? CES?

How much?

You need to jack the front up and put on stands, dont leave on jack cos you need to yank at the bolts pretty hard

The rest u just get from the top, i havent done it, been seen it being done, bolts are really hard to get off

For starters they are Nuts that you have to undo from the back of the turbo, not bolts.

Make sure you spray PLENTY of WD40 or a product that we get up here called "Bolt Off" its a penetrating spray that makes rusted nuts/bolts easy to undo. If you don't do this, then there is a good chance you will snap one of the 10+ year old studs.

If the gasket is old and looks worn, buy a new one. I would also recommend buying a tube of exhaust sealant that can be purchased from any automotive place.

I have just fitted a dump pipe a few weeks ago and it wasn't to hard the hardest part of this was welding up a new plate to the exhaust so the dump pipe could be bolted up to the exhaust.

I had to make a new plate cause the standard one which was welded back onto the 3.5 inch exhaust ages ago was too small and restrictive.

The bolts on the back of the turbo was easy to remove just get under thge car and add a little wd4 and let that soak in and off come the nuts!

removing the heat sheilds suck cause the bolts are brittle and can snap off.

otherwise it is a easy swap!

hey my dad and i fitted mine ourselves

we drove the front of the car up onto car ramps to get to the bolts on the underside of the turbo

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN PUTTING THE BOLTS BACK ON!!!!!!!! we snapped a bolt, and had to drill through it and re-tap a thread so i could put a new bolt in! turned a 2 hour job into a 6 hour job! :rofl:

if you get an exhaust shop to di it it will take 30misn and you will be spewing when you hand the money over for hte little work they actually did!

also, we used the same gasket as its condition was fine and we had no exhaust leaks.

good luck!

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
