planning on getting a treadstone kit and using the treadstone downpipe that is already on there with stock midpipe and s-pipe i was wondering if i should change my trd exhaust that i have one there or upgrade to something else? or should i just upgrade my entire exhaust system to a nice 3" exhaust all the way through?

Also i'm wondering does anyone know how far a motor would go w/ a turbo on about 7-8 psi w/ regular maintenance (oil changes, tranny fluids and stuff like that ?) car now has about 21,000 miles on it so i'm just wondering : moderate driver not too harsh on it been to the track twice

Also would my stock clutch be able to hold up to somwhere around 250 whp around 7-8 pounds? thanks

 

you probably don't need a 3" exhaust, although I wouldn't keep the stock one either. Your basically choking your turbo by keeping a stock exhaust. Get something like a 2.5" turbo back exhaust. should run nice.

 

cough"DEZOD EXHAUST"cough, cough...

 

Exactly! I have one for sell to, but its a pain to ship! Hit up Paul @ Dezod. There exhaust sounds great, completely easy install!

 

yup installed mine last night in an hour and a half.. only reason it took so long was because i had some fitment issues.. other than that PnP haha remove replace enjoy!!!!

 

also, your going to need a new clutch, not right away, but it will wear out pretty quick.

also, do exhaust before you tune your turbo. if you tune, and then do exhaust, you'll get boost creep and you'll exceed your normal 7-8 psi settings because of the increased efficiency of the turbo.

 

so i guess i should toss my trd then huh? i really liked it lol o well now that i'm most likely gonna get turbonium i'll be like "what trd?"

as for clutch which one do you guys recommend?

 

most stage 1 kits require an upgrade to a stage 3 clutch.

 

^^ you are right.

but You should do some motor work before you install your kit because later down the line you will need to do it anyway. that's my opinion

 

yea I would but bills started to pile up so unfortunately there will b no turbonium for me eventually but I gotta say people r a lot nicer on the f/I threads then on the normal ones everyone wants to help lol thank you guys hopefully I can visit bak soon

 

good luck with treadstone. if you need help. they are not willing to help.

i hate htem.

sel your trd! i want one.

my bad, you aren't doing it anymore. bills suck frealies.

 

Well if u decide to go turbo in the future don't go with a whole 3" exhaust if ur not pushing 350+whp because all u will do then is loose back pressure which will harm ur performance. I have 272whp @ 7psi and stock 2.25 pipe straight thru with no resonator. 3" is for massive WHP u don't need it for 250whp.

 

alright cool thanks for the advice guys

 

lol I guess you haven't read the Threads I have read. LOL. Good luck on your project.

 

I think that's why i stay here, everyone here is fairly open minded and gets it done. They like most everyone....most everyone.
