20-09-06, 10:36 GMT+10#76 what size is the rear housing outlet.. basically though a turbo will always run better with the biggest dump pipe you can fit on it.. 2.5" is pretty small.

20-09-06, 16:59 GMT+10#77 but also u dont want to big morgo, pretty much what ever the rear of the turbo is, normally surfices, cause what happens if u go to big it doesn't have as good flow!
look up on the internet about airflow and dump pipes, heaps of info in there
