In Reply to: yeah, you will never lose power on a turbo car by eliminating back pressure post-turbine. posted by mjtaylor on 2006-04-19 13:31:38

which is obviously made up by top end power.

So i'm umm well, I believe larger is better in turbo apps, but I also think if your not making the amount of power, you may lose some torque, down low

how did you make the piece that goes from the end of the DP to the cutout? Custom? - S4=Lunch 2006-04-19 10:50:31 (218 views)

i just have gutted stock downpipes going into the 2.5" cutout pipe, then to my stock cats. - bertworks 2006-04-19 11:03:01 (204 views)

so, 2.0" cutouts, 2.25" or 2.5"? :) TIA! - S4=Lunch 2006-04-19 11:12:02 (169 views)

I run a DMH cut-out after the cat, in place of a cat-back system. Flows better, and quiet for work. - S4KTS 2006-04-19 10:37:46 (223 views)

Tracking...... Hmm I can put those where my test pipes lie or I can - 1bads4::WMS 2006-04-19 10:14:13 (249 views)

Very nice! Maybe you should think about wrapping the motors w/ some thermal tape for longevity.... - 5lugnuts 2006-04-19 10:11:07 (221 views)

Therm wrap would just keep conducted heat in - You'd stand them off like IM spacers if anything. - Superflex 2006-10-11 15:56:32 (119 views)

im not too worried about that since i dont keep them open for very long periods of time. - bertworks 2006-04-19 11:13:44 (203 views)

big thanks to DMH PERFORMANCE for the awesome cutouts. - bertworks 2006-04-19 10:10:43 (189 views)

Very nice work, would be interested in the results - Milpitas2.7T 2006-04-19 10:10:20 (143 views)

i am going to sacramento raceway soon and will post my results from the track, i also did some gtech - bertworks 2006-04-19 10:15:34 (251 views)

how will they be actuated? Switch? RPM? It'd be interesting to see them open at 4k or so. - 'Nova S4 (Greg) 2006-04-19 10:07:37 (199 views)

just a switch to open and close. i need to dyno them to see if im losing any low end torque with - bertworks 2006-04-19 10:18:45 (256 views)

you will not lose any power at all ever with them open - Snow Trooper@ToonerX 2006-04-19 10:23:39 (343 views)

well these cutouts eliminate almost all back pressure. - bertworks 2006-04-19 10:39:16 (173 views)

well there you go then.... - Snow Trooper@ToonerX 2006-04-19 10:43:09 (196 views)

yeah, you will never lose power on a turbo car by eliminating back pressure post-turbine. - mjtaylor 2006-04-19 13:31:38 (211 views)

I'm in that camp and have always been, but I've seen heard of loss of low end torque - Milpitas2.7T 2006-04-19 14:26:45 (216 views)

That type setup didn't hurt MarkP's numbers. - Flyboy 2006-04-19 17:49:45 (403 views)

Yup. Turbos run on pressure differential...you want high pressure in and low pressure out - box_of_partS4 2006-04-19 10:26:54 (226 views)

agreed, my question was more about if there's a sudden pressure drop what that would do - 'Nova S4 (Greg) 2006-04-19 10:43:50 (191 views)

only positive effects - Snow Trooper@ToonerX 2006-04-19 10:48:43 (130 views)

looks loud. nice work though. - BiturboBoy_V2.0_S3-- 2006-04-19 10:00:29 (143 views)
