Remove centre or go all out like i did and fit a mandrel 3" system.


And Tombie I would like to buy one of your VNT's. I have tried e-mail and PM's with no luck.

Back from my swing at the mine tonight!

I'm back home for 6 days so will answer all PM and emails after a good sleep. ;-)

i think he means remove centre box, so a through pipe to replace it... there is no manifold mod mentioned? but cutting the webbing as discussed elsewhere 'may' stop the studs shearing.

there are a few discussions mentioning exhast mods... vortex mufflers etc.. worth a read up as they make interesting if not heated discussions

I think it would help,

but i have been driving my td5 with tombie's "big map" with no porblems at all with manifold twisting. I think most people that have problems with twisting are running remap with std IC and low boost.


I have also been thinking about getting my manifold coated but I have also been looking getting a set of extactors.


I would like to do a group buy to help bring the price down.
