why take of the efi pipe?

[O_D_O_H_E_R_T_Y]

as it says up there, why do people take of the efi pipe?? is there any need to?? what does it help if you take it of like?

 

[stuart]

Its a restriction and takes up too much space

 

[O_D_O_H_E_R_T_Y]

ha fair enough, does it make a difference when of?? its not bad for the car no??

people on here have taken off the efi pipe and meshed up the front of the turbo.. you can also relocate your air filter 2 the front of the car that way..

so is there any point in me taking it of??

your choice really... it just gives you more room for intercooler pipework and uprated manifolds.. plus gives you alot of suction noise off the spooling turbo

 

[O_D_O_H_E_R_T_Y]

would ya have to mesh up the turbo??

only if your not putting a air filter relocation kit on... do not leave the turbo air intake open 2 the elements.. twill wreak the blades and seals.. personally i wouldnt mesh it up...

rite, il leave the pipe there 4 the time being until i get a relocation kit i think

all you need is a hose 2 fit wit a 90degree bend off the turbo and a small bit of aluminuim pipe and then another small bit of hose 2 filter..

the filter will slot in beside the rad if you have the aircon rad out

It makes a big difference i reckon.....when i took mine off the turbo pulled alot harder and spooled up alot quicker........but sometimes it can boost spike so watch out for that.

Another thing is that it runs directly over the exhaust manifold soaking heat in! Think it's like 2 hp lost for an increase in temp of 7 deg celcius. You could have a 300hp car loosing like 40hp because of heat soak.

A point that has been missed for this guy is that you normally have to remove aircon to relocate dont know if you realise this.

As above.

But watch out for fuelt cut with boost creep, don't forget now it'll be breathing better than the long EFI pipe.

 

[O_D_O_H_E_R_T_Y]

ok, is boost spike the same boost creep??
lets say i take of the efi pipe, what do i do after that?

Yeh it can cause boost creep, but it dont affect everyone

Depends what sort of mods you got on your car.

I wanted to remove the EFI pipe however I realised theres the silicon hose that goes into the hi/lo solenoid and if I remove the EFI pipe where do I connect the silicon hose to? Thanks!

Just vent it into the atmoshpear i done it to mine

What about the metal pipe that goes down the engine? What do I connect to that pipe since the hi/lo hose goes in there to control the hi/lo boost?

^^^^You got that from me!

The bit about EP82's and wind tunnel!! Ha
