hp gains question...

[510supramacy]

errr, i think they sound like shit at wot,

loki2024 has one, and the other day he was fallowing me to my house, and i would romp on it, hear my turbo spool, and the large suction of air sounds great along with the purr of my screaming exhaust.,

while then he got on it to keep up, and it sounded like some one holding a full balloon with the end open and making it fart so to say.. he's car doesn't have a full exhaust so it was definitly audiable,

im not doubting that it could make more power,

but hearing it i really didn't like it.
so i guess find some one close to you who has one and go for a ride, if you like it more power to you, but i would have not be to happy with the results if i bought one with out hearing it first.

this is hilarious, but yeah i see your point...
ill check and see if anybody here in 510 has a bic ddp so i could find out first hand.
hopefully id meet em...

any body know if the lipp elbow fits the stock precat???
i was thinking it might be a good buy come smog season since it looks stock

Not entirely sure if it does, but you'd want to upgrade to a full 3" elbow at the same time anyways....

Until you get at least a dp (bonus points for an elbow or intergrated elbow/dp) you're probably sittin' around 210-220rwhp. When I had 3" turbo-back exhaust (stock cat, however), shimmed wastegate at 8-9ish PSI, and custom k&n intake I made 235whp/276tq... that should give you a rough idea. Your result, however, may vary.

decent stats... :naughty:
yes, results might vary however depending on where youre at and overall car condition,it shouldnt be that much of a difference though.

I had the same mods you do about a year ago. The next thing I did was bic ddp, Maybe the cat was clogged but Holy crap. BIG difference. I love the sound, gets rid of RICE with a simple downshift!

so im seeing people saying that they had like 210 rwhp... but isnt the MKIII turbo stock at around 233 hp... i understand that there is a loss of hp because of condition and what not but i wouldnt expect it to be 20 hp...

rwhp is different than hp...

factory numbers are at the crank.
rw = at the rear wheels.

Just about every car is advertised with crank hp.

Most car companies use an engine dyno when tuning the motors IIRC. That's why they get the crank HP.
