    Holy **** I scared the crap out of myself lol!

    Ok so I was over taking a truck on Tarren Point road when I hear an almighty noise like a blowoff valve only 10 times louder and I lost all power with nowhere to pullover and nearly home I couldn't do anything past 40km/h, I get the car home and have a look and see this...ImageUploadedByAULRO1402311861.158146.jpg thank god it was an easy fix but I'm telling ya it scared the bloody crap out of me! Turns out the clamp on the hose has been loose for a while and I didn't notice until it was done up properly and now I have POWER again!

    Have done that before in my RX7 - it's a very expensive sound but an easy fix as you said!

    Disconnect the turbo at the dump pipe. It sounds better. Just makes a hell of a mess in the engine bay. Mines never going to be silver again.

    The sound truck like if you unbolt them at the centre
    Mine gets surprisingly good turbo whistle for a stocky.
    Full 3" stainless might make a good sound with a proper resonance.
