no point having it on the road in this weather though, do it once, do it right i say :yes
whats the spec of the 200?? my mate has one with 540 i think and its pretty mental haha

i was meaning vids of the exhaust, and lee\'s car in general since the new map

[leeincivic]

cheers dude, how did you get around fitting it up to the turbo? coz av got 3" downpipe so would i come off the downpipe with a step up to 4"?

also jus realised i ait put pics up of me other polished bits got me alternator and uim done too,

[lee mills]

Done 4" from turbo back. if i remember rightly he took the v band off the 3" downpipe then welded it to the 4" pipe

Dont really use it that much in winter:(
Forced myself to use it the other night to test my new lights and almost lost the back end:o bit to eager in damp conditions so will have to wait until spring

[leeincivic]

ah i gets ya, sayin that the v-band flange is plenty big enough to do that aint it, seriously got me thinkin bout blowing the dust off the welding mask now haha

[lee mills]

I think im right in saying it spools the turbo quicker aswell. Im now seeing full boost by 4400 rpm.
 
What you going to be using the car for? and what boost you planning to run it at?

[leeincivic]

mainly road but the occasional track/drag blast, unsure of what boost i am goin to be running yet coz got loads to sort till it comes to that, i am puttin the best i can on in every way so i can handle higher boost if needed during mapping, know what i mean?

end of the day last thing i need is to pt my foot down on the street and end up backwards round a roundabout haha

no i dont, mine is off the road now, went for a blast the other weekend when it was nice.



what rad and intercooler setup are you going for then??
plenum and alt looks sweet, mine have gone really dull now, thinking what i can do to protect the finish?? lacquer??

[leeincivic]

get that autoglym polish out matey :p laquer will dull polished parts loads, tried it on me mountain bike forks once and dulled crap loads

got a apex rad and greddy fmic, gonna have to see what the running temps are but am happy with how it is for now at least

[lee mills]

will be awesome when its finished
