split r

[CupraStoo]

with a heatshield/ cold air feed, it shouldnt be tooo bad

 

[caveo]

agreed. But if you want a good sound get a 3 inch de-catted zorst with an IHI turbo , foook me its loud. ( i know its a bit off topic )

 

[CupraStoo]

hahahaha

hopefully ill see it at the JKM day in march!

 

[b_wain]

so any ideas why my split r has gone quiet with the dynatwist kit?

 

[caveo]

sound is boost related, but mine still wasnt v loud with a big turbo ( 1.4 bar )

 

[b_wain]

i heard a rumour that if i set up a boost gauge it also messes with the D/V sound and causes it to work incorrectly. Any idea if this is correct?

 

[caveo]

yea the split r doesnt take to a boost gauge v well.

 

[b_wain]

so is there any way around it as i wold really like a boost gauge?

 

[D.K]

Take the feed to the boost guage off the FPR i have and had no probs

 

[caveo]

some people had put the t piece into the little pipe at the top of the dv and seems ok but in my opinion the split r kills performance due to increasing the lag....alot . Do me a favor and take your car out for a thrash tomorrow and then put it back to full recirc ( just put the blanking plug on the trumpet bit it will take 1 minute) and your car will be ALOT smoother/faster between gears i promise.

 

[b_wain]

Yea but m a sucker for the woosh noise

just take your boost gauge feed from elsewhere.
there are two options, fpr hose or the vac return on top of the throttle body
