Exhaust

Post by TRAVIS BICKLE »

Long time since last post :oops: Well the 2.1TD finally bit the dust, and the Nissan had to go due to finances and an expanding family, so now i have myself a fine example of an executive estate (petrol turbo) Im now after a decent exhaust, and wondering what form of boost control you turbo guys use. I think i may have a spare T28 tubby laying about somewhere. anyway advice and comments appreciated :cheesy:
98, Executive turbo estate in aluminum silver. The stealth wagon! Now departed, New project Xsara VTR-8 in progress, Next Project, 406 D8 / JAP. So will be looking for a 406 again when the xsara is done!

Hey Heyyy.....Trav me old mucker :)

Poor Nissan gone :cry:

Advise wise I think most would say just leave it alone :| if you increase the boost you increase the problems mostly on that engine. Turbo's, head gaskets, cooling system, engine mounts etc etc.

If you want a cheap reliable car (in today's iffy climate) then leave it be :|

Eggsauce wise you'll be looking at £300 - 400 for a stainless jobby but why bother? I'd ring around the usual suspects for a standard steel system and then paint the hanger points yourself with high temp silver to help stop them rusting.
