hey guys,

thanks for the replies.

the exhaust was an ebay item, cheap and unfortunately 'nasty'. Although providing good flow and some nice 'bling' it fits poorly and hangs extremely low.

All work was done by unigroup engineering, im unsure as to whether they made it or sourced it from someone else but all workmanship is top shelf and im very impressed.

again thanks for the positive comments guys.

it was there for a few weeks.

the miscoloured headlight covers and dust paint job would have been a give away. hahaha

the other Justin has a dual exhaust. :wink:


on topic: maybe some of the boost control problem stems from what you're using to control it? that tiny little solenoid isn't going to cut it.. especially if you go to a GTRS or similar. blitz dual SBC FTW.

fergo: oh ok, i thought the avc-r should have no problems controlling the boost. its not too much of a drama as i would rather driveability over sheer outright power.

um just to add, im looking at getting some swaybars, new bushes and some pineapples, can anyone suggest best brands and place to purchase. any help would be appreciated.

cheers guys

avc-r has a pretty screen,and is good for std boost-up. no good for high boost on small turbine housings,which is anything you'll bolt to a std SR manifold. you'll want a blitz dual SBC from what I've seen.

sway bars,whiteline.

bushes,super pro.

pineapple bushes,go solid alloy,from anyone. if you want urethane,I have a super pro set I can sell you. $80,three weeks old.
