Jim_1979 Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 no need to change the intercooler mate unless it was totally dead!! Also as far as I know, you shouldn't really run over 1.2bar on stock tubbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Ian Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 just fits in at the join on the exhaust somewhere.... (doesn't it?). If you can take an exhaust apart, you should be able to fit one. Correct Jim Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I'm decatted but with the stock exhaust (profoundly deaf wife). I'm currently at 0.8 bar- would I be right thinking if i bought a blitz SBC I could have the lowest setting at 0.8bar as it is currently, and then set the other three options for 1.0bar, 1.15bar & 1.25bar??? Obviously i'd change my intercooler first. Thoughts? Gaz, yes you can do that. For sure you need to swap out that IC, its toast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Take that exhaust off mate, its not worth raising the boost, or really, even having a de-cat if the standard exhaust is still on, its soooo restrictive. But yes, you could raise the boost, but you would see some VERY high exhaust temps at higher boost levels with it going through the standard system i imagine. Sure someone who knows what they are on about will be along soon .. I'm decatted but with the stock exhaust (profoundly deaf wife).

Jake Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 deaf wife + loud exhaust = v.bad idea. How's that then Gaz? I would have thought you could have it as loud as you like if she can't hear it. No? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to try and preserve what hearing she has left- she isn't in total silence (yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npotts Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 How easy/hard is it to fit a restrictor ring ? I have a boost guage, but no restrictor ring. Phil - your car already has a restrictor ring, set at 1.1 bar.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
