Hi guys sorry haven't logged in for a while but my house was
hit by lightning last week in that huge storm and still
Waiting to telcom to come fix it but I'm logged on using my phone
Now what a mission
Anyway I got the car back on friday and have driving it in so haven't been
Pushing it at all the drive is completly different to the old setup
Its only boosting 0.6 bar at the moment as I'm waiting for my boost
Controler to come this week then will run it at 1 bar every day and
1.3 bar at high boost
Riaan made me a completly new induction kit and a new down pipe.
in the process so pretty excited to see how they perform I have a couple
Of pics to show the install and all that but I can only do that once I get
Use of my computer again!
Just a quick question guys will I be safe running 1 bar of boost with out OB
Or should it run 0.9 bar?

I drove my ST on 1.1 bar everyday with normal fuel no problem.

completed manifold on turbo

My opinion, headers looks good but have heard from a few guys they dont last. They crack all the time, only one guy with no issues and its Deef. I decided to go for the ATP cast irion-manifold at the time because of this. Nice tebo btw. :lol:

so as you guys know im saving to get a decent boost controller and driving around with only 0.6 bar boost is getting a little boring :(
so spoke to riaan and we making a plan to get it to 1 bar and lock it there till i get the controller so this will happen early next week
will do a 0.6 bar dyno and a 1 bar dyno to compare the figures!! will let you know the results

ill bet my left ballsack that manifold will crack.. :D
dude none of them have lasted, the ATP one is muhc shorter and seems to handle the weight, you must remember the blower weighs quite alot.

Awesome install by the way cant wait to see dyno figures.
good luck with everything.
