Turbo Outlet Size and Intake piping (post-turbo)

I'm confused as well because it seems like you are talking about the turbo "inlet" pipes were changed among a host of other changes. And we are specifically talking about the outlet and downstream plumbing in this thread. Post compressor. I expect you also went to blow through at this point with different MAF and Y pipe and bad107 thinks injectors and possibly IC's too. Pretty sure this changed your tune too yeh? This is apples and oranges.
Sean, can you please explain your increase in horsepower. I am confused, it seems you changed the injectors and possibly the intercoolers to get the 130 rwhp.
Thanks
Thanks

Why don't you just keep that size on your car Ben? I know you are wanting to go MAFless so you are going to have to make some changes. What is the true point of this thread? We all got scammed in you twos eyes so please just put the stock size on. Actually you should leave a 2.5" exhaust on the car or whatever the factory is. 3" is way overrated and you got scammed if you did that to.

I started this thread because one of my mechanics said to get rid of my vivid 3" y-pipe and go back to stock y-pipe. I didn't understand this, but he said 3" is too big when my intercoolers are only 2.2" or so. That made me ask why do I even need 2.2" if my turbo outlets are not that big, and I did not get a good answer. I am still confused on this subject, but it seems one of the reasons for thicker piping is due to the bends.

No one can tune for mafless on a tiptronic 996TT unless you want to get rid of PSM and possibly ABS. I ended up using Markski's flexible 2.5" intake.

Some Vivid products are very good (I have their partial turbo kit...turbos, cans, cooling) but yes, Steve and Dan had a falling out a few years ago (Todd N was part of that as well).
No one, really has a bad thing to say about Steve Ott. He is my mechanic of choice and I have been to a few rodeos.

Parachutes are were the problems start Eddie. I wouldn't run one at BeeVille, tons of stopping distance.
