you reckon its really not the most restrictive part, once you've pulled it off you won't be saying that, the factory dump directly after the turbine wheel squeazes all exhaust gas through a 1 1/2" square. considering the rest of the zorst is 2 1/2" factory thats a pretty big restricion.

the turbos on these are still a damn good turbo though, mine is as sweet as, was thinking of replacing it with the 7mgte one though oneday. but thats for sure, they are old and turbo design has improved greatly over the years.

all these comparisions your making about your car, what are you comparing it to, your ST162, or that WRX in the pics next to the GT4, if your comparing a WRX to a GT4, thats why your disappointed with it. you shouldn't be comparing it to anything at all No No No

Wiso - I gotta go back to my clear style of post writing. I was saying that the intake isn't the most restrictive part of the engine. I think the dump pipe is one of the more highly restrictive parts of the factory set up...see the dyno graph in the members rides section to see how it doesn't produce good boost after about 5200rpm. There's something restricting there, for sure! Can't be good for heat or thermal efficiency either.

I think the benchmark for these cars (turbo 4WDs) are the WRXs and the Evos etc and the fact that I put the GT4 in the same class as those cars is a compliment! Even if it comes off second best, I still think it is a sweet car and I'm enjoying every minute of it Smile
