- 4 inch dump pipe, to 3 inch into twin 2.5" tips exhaust system

Sorry mate, I read this as twin 2.5" all the way through. Don't bother listing the tips as they do absolutely nothing. But yeah need to get rid of your 3"

I'd recommed XFT over BPT for a tune based on what I've read here and talked about in person over the years. BPT are better at V8's than turbo 6's I think.

Thanks for everybody's replies.

So here is an up to date spec sheet of my car.....sort of haha. Could anybody give me an estimate of what kind of power I should/could be pulling once its all up and running again?

....And im going to ask another beginners question, if you were in my shoes......out of the very little cash I have left after the ZF transmission rebuild: would I be better to buy a surge tank to run with my walbro 300lt-ph intank, or a plazmaman Inlet Plenum.... I know people have already answered, but its an ongoing question and im getting 50/50 opinion's haha, im chasing 500rwhp, and I think im nearly there, I just need some advice, im going to do the valve springs later when I can afford them. Is the benefit over the surge tank worth it, over the inlet plenum?

Engine & Transmission:

- Nizpro 1000HP Intercooler

- 3.5 Inch Alloy Cold Side Into Throttlebody

- 2.5 Inch Alloy Hot side

- Walbro 300lt-ph Intank Fuel Pump

- MSCN Turbo Oil Feed Kit With Inline Filter

- Turbosmart 12psi billet aluminium Internal Actuator (waiting for install)

- Seimens Deka 80lb Injectors (waiting for install)

- 4 Inch Plazmaman Intake & Airbox kit with K&N Filter

- Battery Relocated to Rear/Boot

- Built ZF 6 speed transmision by XFT with Nizpro Input shaft (waiting for install)

Exhaust system:

- 4 Inch Turbo dump pipe

- 5 Inch Catalytic converter

- 2.5 Inch Twin Cat Back to twin 2.5" muffler tips

Thanks again people, this forum is pricesless.

Thanks Bionic :)

Im onto it now. Ill be getting a surge tank installed when XFT finish building my ZF.

Any recommendations? Has anybody done custom install on surge tanks instead of paying over $1000 for the pre build plazmaman/process west tank & pump combos?.... If you know what I mean haha.

Still going to be tuned at BPT? That would be my major concern, as I mentioned before. XFT are known as one of the best tuners in the nation, and you are already getting the box done there!
