installed UP/DP/axleback... no difference in performance wtf?
ok maybe there is. I got a dynomax muffler so my car still sounds pretty stock.
But my turbo still spools up @ 2900-3000 rpm! I got a gutted UP and an HKS DP so I'm running NO cats and there's no spoolup difference?
And I know that there's the factory boost limit, so I guess I won't feel too much difference in 1st gear right? Cause I GTech'd it and 1st gear max was .6 g's, same as before!
help...this is disapointing...

is that the only data u got to go by? i sure hope not......first gear is not going to be too much of a difference, as it's too short to really do any type of pull
since u have a gtech, have u tried redoing ur acc time? ur hp cal?
also, give the ecu a little time to get use to the mods, or u can do the vishnu reset

lol ok, so I should Gtech in 2nd gear...hm does anyone have a max G reading for a stock 2nd gear pull by any chance?
yeah I'm gonna try the HP calc, should be interesting. Too bad my friend borrowed my gtech to use in his celica alltrac

you sure there isnt any leaks? i have an up pipe and noticed a difference right away. and with the downpipe installed you should be ready to boost within seconds. check for leaks. it just doesnt sound right.

hm how do i check for leaks?
My exhaust sounds pretty mean right now
well in terms of spooling up yeah with the catless setup if I'm @ >3000 rpm and floor it zoom, 16 psi in a second. However i was under the impression that it would spool up at a lower rpm, like @ 2500 or something

listen for a shrill noise when you start up the car. its very distinct, you wont be able to miss it.
the uppipe alone should make your spool time lower. the downpipe should do the same as well. although ive read that the hks dp is a shoddy one, i doubt it would have too much of an effect. a catless downpipe should some improvements regardless.
who did the install?

Sort of not your question, but I'd definitely get the ECU reflashed...I have the Cobb stage 2 with the Helix UP/DP and Hyper catback. Also have Samco I/C hoses and the difference is dramatic to say the least. You can hear the turbo spool and the difference is night and day. I didn't get a chance to do the quick computer learning trick, so mine is still in learn mode with more power to come. And, since all of mine was done at the same time I can't vouch for the staged upgrade route....but, since you've already put that much into it, I'd definitely spend the extra $400 for the Cobb reflash...
