I am sure you will enjoy your new exhaust system.

Installed! Very nice Thanks! great build quality and nice sound.....low pitched growl, no rasp. I'm very pleased.....well worth that stack of quarters.

Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / Interest in Bolt on Turbo kit?

« on: February 24, 2013, 08:29:13 PM »

Does it matter so much if the Boost limit is 7-9psi?

There have been some successful low boost builds with non-equal length tubes including just a single tube "log manifold". I thought the target here was ~190hp at a low boost limit. I kinda like the chopped & sealed M50 turbo manifold, but there have been probls w/ the build quality aparently.

I'm just learning about such things........... but from what I'm reading, if you want 200+HP and 10+PSI, then equal length joined at a central coupler sounds right.......if lower boost, then it may not matter so much.

Interested.

Wanna see the dyno and management optimizations, but a plu-n-play, low boost, turbo kit sounds good.

Had similar issue with my M42. Stomp test said cyl #1 had a bad coil. but was actually #3. My advise, buy 1 extra coil and swap-test each one sequentially.

Suspension / Clunking noises after front suspension redo

How much of a drop did you do? If you swapped out the drop hats and dropped lower than 1.5in, then the sound may be contact with the strut towers.

I chose to replace with a stock flywheel on my DD for easier even idle. If I was racin' I would go for lighter.
