- Fri Dec 28, 2007 2:22 am #35394 Im going boost, and are you trippin?

w/ boost the minimum you should have is 2 1/2

usally 3 inch is what you need for boost..


This setup is just temporary (still saving for the turbo) I got it all planned out, discussed it with the people that are gonna sell me the turbo, i should be putting down close to 260-280 whp :) And definetly will need 3''

LOL where do you hide the other Header?? I had 2.25 inch piping on mine with a muffler most likely close to yours and it was hella loud. Did you put a resonator or anything like that on it?

I am trippin?

Actually if you would've done your research 3" is not always the best option for boost. With low boost setups on small turbos, ocasionally depending on the setup, 3" exhausts can cause boost spikes. Although rare, it does happen.

lol yeah read the above again, he's not 'trippin' because you didn't mention anything about boost when saying 2 3/4" exhaust. He was trying to make sure you weren't putting the wrong exhaust on your car.

what turbo will you be running?

- Fri Dec 28, 2007 5:33 am #35415 Im buying this because I know what im buying.. It's a little starter turbo kit off ebay just to get used to boost, Plus I don't plan on staying on boost forever so im just gonna buy a small cheap one and just boost the living shit out of it, trying to reach atleast 280 whp :hehe:

But even if your not going boost, it really isnt bad running 2 . 25, Im running it now with bolt-on's and it feels VERY FUCKING NICE (excuse the language).



(Greasedmonkey) No I didnt put shit man, :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: so fucking loud lol its sexual. backfires like a bitch, shit sounds like killer B's when vtec engages :lol: . Definetly pics coming soon...

Dont waste your cash on an Ebay 'starter' turbo kit, most are junk and are way more of a headache then anything else. Boost is like crack, once you get a taste your going to want more........ so spend some extra cash and do it right the 1st time.
