I had a turbosmart one on my sti b4 the ebc and thought it was fine, my car was tuned to 1.5 bar with the bleed vavle and it was ok. I guess you need to make sure your car is setup before upping the boost in most cases.
I'm running a Gizzmo ms ibc and doesn't spike but doesn't hold boost that great either but better than stock setup, I also have been told my vf30 is running out of puff though. If I was getting another I would go for a hks evc 4 or hks evc but are pricey items. my boost comes on harder and stronger and earlier to but I think they all do that.
I run mine for a minute then drive like a nana till its warm, but if I'm using the car and its a very early in the morning I just start and go as I'm in a very quiet neighbour hood and the old 3 inch exhaust is quite loud...lol
I got my car from fast fours and they was a knock from the front shock and the dodgy bastards replaced the shock but gave me another spring so I have 3 springs and one different one. That shit will make me lose sleep so I will look at some different springs, I'm going to call Fast fours tomorow... grrr
yeah full stainless system includes down pipe and up pipe as well, I got a resonator put in mine as I found it to loud but you can't go wrong for the price.
Sweet as mate, heading down there to see family and I love the waiaweka gorge, its the longest in the country and awesome for driving , very tight and twisty....
Not having a good day with car audio lol ? hooked up a 300watt pioneer amp onto a sony 12 as was running for 5 mins then it stopped putting out sound and was hot, its in my mates car and the sub is a few years old and I thought it was a single voice coil but now thinking it might be a dual voice coil and I fried it, didn't smoke or anything and amp is near new. I have to pull the sub out to see if it has 2 coils ??
3 inch from the turbo
reflash ecu (launch control etc )
k'n panel filter
gizzmo ebc
walbro
factory vf30
gfb bov
Pretty much the basics mate, nothing out of this world but the car drives well and I'm happy...
Thanks for the comments pappu, might have to get you to drop my launch control for me, we should take the crew down to meremere for some support etc. Maybe others are keen to have a go 2. Like I said before its such a buzz legally thrashing the shit out of your car and really gets your heart pumping.
lol yeah dont wont blow it as I'm going to sell later in the year, will be interesting to see what it can do.I think your estimate is in the ball park but I hope I can beat it.
should do aye spencer lol ( john here ). Want to get my launch control dropped from 5800 rpm to 5500 rpm then wait for it to get a bit colder then I'm down to meremere for sure. You cant beat that rush of the xmas tree lights changing on the start line. Just gna give it death but be as smooth as poss. Fingers crossed. I see you did a 12.9 was that in your old car ??
