Hi guys,

Im picking up my new toy on Friday. I have a couple of questions if you would be so kind: -

How much is it to be a full member on here?
When I try and view 'posts started by me' I get an restriction access error.
My car is a 04 STI. I will eventually want to start some modding.
- Do BOV dump valves cause any problems with these turbo's? ie, fueling problems etc.

Whats a recommended exhaust and Air induction kit? I want the nice low warble on idle and off boost (motorway) driving, but want it to really roar on boost. Is there a reasonably priced sports cat option?
I will be fitting a boost guage, what should the standard boost be?

Sorry for all the questions, I have searched for some answers but find the search function on here a bit useless.

Cheers!!

Hi, the member fee is £18, well worth it, as it makes the search much better. You'll have no trouble finding the answers then, as their quite common questions which have been covered lots of times. Good luck!

3" turbo back milltek exaust with the sports cat. around about 800 quid brand new but worth it not obstructive on motorway but when giving it some has a nice roar.panel filter will be fine up 400bhp. if you get the milltek exuasht you should get a remap and uprated fuel pump. with that you should expect around 330bhp

Gotcha...Must read post properly

Do second hand exhaust systems pop up much on this forum?

mit, I'm only a cheapskate 5 quid Full Member lol. Are you saying that if I were to upgrade to the £18 FM, then the search facility will work better... Or is the 5 quid search just as good i.e. no different?

Cheers
