I dont know what boost the car was running when it was rr'ed as I didn't own it then - I just have the print outs. But atm she runs at 1.0 bar or 1.4 bar depending on which button I press <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Anonymous Unregistered A	its the flange that bolts to the 28r which allows the OE downpipe to bolt to it, you need to replace the flange so a 3" downpipe can be fitted Kev

Anonymous Unregistered A	The other option to H&S for the DP is a full BlueFlame system. I think there's a Group Buy being organised for a 3" turbo back system ... take a look in Group Buys!
