March 16, 201214 yr #11 Maybe upgrade the exhaust from 3" to something bigger and you'll make the power a lot easier. Probably a good idea to put a box over your intake and the heat shield back on your turbo too. Should be able to make 500rwhp with just a bit more boost after that.
March 16, 201214 yr #12 If your at 14psi I now I don't think your stock wastegate an actuator will alllow enough boost. $1000 will get you a gate and screamer and then allow as much boost as you want, plus more flow so that 3" may not restrict it as much.
March 16, 201214 yr #13 Author Thanks for all the helpful info guys !!! Yeah I'm only guessing its 3" could even be 3.5 but its definatly not as big as my 4" dump .. Yeah external gate will definatly be on the cards ASAP !! Is putting in cams a worth while mod in these things ?
March 17, 201214 yr #14 Well if it's 3.5" you should be fine and if going external gate then you'll have no problems with flow.Cams aren't worth the money unless you're chasing big power and torque.
March 17, 201214 yr #15 Author Yeah mate that's what I thought lol although a lumpy idle does sound sick haha ! With 500 hp it should easily fry 3rd on the highway just off boost !! If I can achieve that I'd be happy !! It fry's 1st 2nd 3rd with no dramas at all ... It loves a good old Powerskid haha
March 17, 201214 yr #20 Welcome mate... make sure you have a 71* thermostat as well to sort out the heat soak.
