Turbo R pic request
Yea, i olny made about 200 whp, but thats with 6 psi and all stock exhaust. I am hoping those mods i listed will bring up the power.
As for the Wastegate....There were a lot of problems on the install with that. That is exactly how rev hard said to mount the wastegate, however i did not like it. My shop and I talked on the phone with them on several occasions and thats what they said to do. I went with Fal slimline fans however there was still not much room. I wanted to keep my A/C and i still do. Do you have any suggestions as to how else i should mount it??

I made my own downpipe with the wastegate outlet tied in, your shop should be able to fab something up for you if they are halfway competent.
mine clears the a/c, as you can see, I have removed the a/c though for other reasons.
Well, the soundwaves travel through the exhaust system and come out the tailpipe, so I don't know if it is effectively more quiet than having the exhaust vented in two locations like you have, but it is definitely a much more pleasant exhaust note than an open wastegate. I ran my setup similar to yours a couple of years ago and I thought it sounded like total shit, like a big moped, plus the stench was horrible, I'd rather have that vented behind me than in front of me personally..
If you want to hear what my car sounds like with the current setup, click my website on the bottom of my post, and go to my type R page, there's a link to turbo sounds..

I only ask because I know that with a turbo setup, the exhaust is usually quieter. My wastegate tends to make almost a screaming sound when it discharges. I was just wondering if that sound is eliminated when its put in the exhaust pipe. Also, I like the way your exhaust looks however, is it possible to tuck it up more, or is that as far as it can go? Thanks.
nice car bro, but you need to get that air filter out of the engine compartment, it's sitting right behind the fan, that's costing you power man, also the car is going to be more prone to detonation by heating up the intake charge!! The car actually looks good without the lip. Either way is good.
Any dragstrip numbers yet?

You can kind of see in this pic, I made a cold air intake system, it takes a bend down, then there's a u-bend at the bottom which brings the inlet right into the right inner fender in front of the wheel well, inside is a huge K&N filter, the biggest I could find, it's about a foot long, 3 inch mandrel tubing is what I used for the piping.
