just change your cat it is the biggest restriction in your exhaust. The standard T exhaust flows very well and can handle big horsepower but I dont think the standard exhaust can handle 500rwkw

An easy and cheap way is to get a pipe, weld flanges on either end and then the heat shield over it so it looks like a cat, highest flowing cat available

true, but not legal.

a cheap but good cat is a 3.5' "metal cat" and installs very easy without alot of customising.. and yes you are going to NEED a clutch after your new tune

whos tuning your car? those numbers sound very happy for the mods... not being rude, just saying the dyno might not be calibrated correctly.

Who said anything about being legal?

The tuner is ESP Racing in the ACT, well Queanbeyan which is next to the ACT, im having some trouble with the tune at the moment, they cant get it over 287 atw, they cant figure out whats restricting it, the dyno chart is climbing very very well & then suddenly hits a brick wall & stays completely flat.

If you guys have any suggestions please let me know!

Also the actuator isn't allowing the turbo to hold more than 11psi if that's any help

ESP assured me that it will hit around 330kw atw due to previous T's getting similar output with similar mods.

They also told me that the BF T's have the Typhoon engine, is this true? I know its only the valves & conrods that are stronger.

Do you guys recommend staying away from the 5 speed manual?

Do you guys recommend staying away from the 5 speed manual?

YES

And especially so if your looking to do any power upgrades

Thanks guys.

Really want a manual but will def look into it more, as power upgrades arent intended but I think inevitable

If your going to get manual get the 6 speed manual from the BA MK2 onwards
