Glosphil Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Just spent all night, until 30 mins ago putting the 2nd de-catt pipe on. The big one. I had to hack saw the bolts off, what a pain its taken hours ! So, what difference has it made? Well, its now much louder RSR sings lol Its now boosting to 1.1 bar. Didnt put in the restrictor ring yet untill I take the first catt off. Im still running the stock intercooler, best be careful eh? Slight increase in power, but no massive kick from the second turbo, if anything its much smoother coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3upra Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Stock intercooler is fine if its in good nick-if yours is the original one,then you should seriously look into replacing it asap-mine was literally falling to bits:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPU has mixed results from car to car, it depends on how good you're turbo's are and intercooler. Personally I do not know what all the fuss is about on BPU. I am full BPU and it is different quite a bit, but with all the threads with people ranting a raving about it I was dissapointed to say the least. It could be my turbo's are not up to standard I dunno, but I am full decat and new intercooler from Miami Gt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glosphil Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 My intercooler is a bit brittle, trying to get a replacement at the moment (greddy 2 row) Will it be ok on 1-1.1bar in the meantime? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 It will be ok mate but put a new intercooler at the top of your're list. If you are stopping at BPU I would personally stick with a smic to be honest. Contact Andy @ Miami Gt for a stock replacement, for BPU it is good enough FMIC is a bit overkill for just BPU.
