It would seem that to get the best out the vg block a 3" system is the better option. Now, if your waste gate vents to atmosphere, your not forcing the useless(in respect to producing boost) air down your exhaust system. This is obviously great, less air to be pushed through, less resistance etc etc, is this a correct thought process? If it is then realistically ifyou do vent to the wastegate directly, would you make the same gains on a 2.5" system as your pushing less air down the system, ie less requirement of the exhaust to process air, so a smaller exhaust can do the same job. Now is that legal? because your venting air without a silencer etc, does this still stay wit…

:oops: Disconnected the white connector to the brake master cylinder to gain access while sorting out a boost leak and now I can't find the connector anywhere. Does anybody know where the wire comes from on the loom?

So I got Greddy TD0516G turbos. I also have a veilside evolution cat back exhaust. I'm wanting to get 3" pipes at the front. I can find test pipes but my problem is that I can't seem to find any down pipes with the correct stud pattern for the turbos (3 bolt triangle). The turbos currently have the standard greddy turbo elbows. Anyone got any ideas of do I need the front end of the system making?

Hi all I've read that several people have either fitted switches to or have simply cut the wire for the powered external radio antenna. Can anybody help me identify which wire that may be, from the two images below? 92 TT UK 300zx. Many thanks! Tom

I have been driving the car very rarely while it was on safety boost, i fixed the problem with a new detonation sensor and took it for a spin yesterday, after smiling continuously as i had my full bar of boost back :) i thought i would see how it drove through the revs and gears, i took the revs up in 2nd to about 6k and the engine sort of missed and spluttered so i changed to 3rd and had a huge amount of lag and loss of power ( so it felt ) happened, haven't revved the car up that high since but it was boosting fine at the lower revs, has anyone seen this problem before? or any ideas on what could of caused it? Many Thanks Marlow TT Parker
