hi guys, how's yous?
now that formalities are out of the way, im going to get a mufflerectomy tomorrow from the muffler man (thats the name of the shop), but NOT dump pipe.
why not dump pipe? because i still cannot make the decision- here's my thoughts:
no dump pipe: higher egt's= bad for turbo. if it were any other turbo or if i didnt have a tune, i'd get one, BUT!!!
dump pipe= because the vnt's vanes can be prone to sticking (egr fuggin crap), apparently with a tune, as the turbo accumulates crap in it AND without adjusting the vnt actuator rod (which i wouldnt eff with anyway-im clueless), boost creep becomes a real problem, and opening up the exhaust is only going to add to the problem (by way of boosting more freely? i dont know).
so, on one hand there's egts in melbournes lovely 43degree summers, on the other hand there's lowering the egt's but assisting boost creep. with or without dump pipe, it seems my turbo's going to go boom and my car is going to explode and im going to die in a horrible ball of tiny-vnt-will-crush-your-ambitions flames.
so, which is the lesser of two evils, you reckon?
cheers,
scotty
