TurboXS V2 Dump Pipe Install - MY07 GTB

I must have got lucky with my dump as I didn't have to modify my heat shield to make it fit.. I did notch it slightly to fit the new turbo in but its such a small trim nobody would ever notice.

yeah its not required for the x-force as the cat is down in a lower position.

Can you confirm if the turbo xs dump is suitable for autos? Or will modification be required for it to fit?

Well there you go. I learnt something today. I just presumed all dumps were the same or similar.

The turboXS also has the CAT at a lower position but the bellmouth transition is quite generous and I don't believe the stock shield would fit without some modification. I did attempt to fit but be honest I only had a quick test because I had decided I didn't want to cut it at all. If you look at these photos you will get the picture.



I just think the DIY heatshield is worth sharing with others who either don't have their original or want to maintain it untouched. I did too many small mods on my old wagon that turned into big mods so it would be impossible to ever put it back the same as how I bought it. I decided when I bought this car to make no mods I couldn't easily undo. Personal choice .

Shav I don't know mate. I am not sure what is different with the auto fitment but if it is just the angle of the pipe to allow for the wider transmission my linked photos may help.

Thanks tim, your thread is certainly helpful

hey shav, I think they do...I remember MSR telling me they fit the 5EAT...I remember kido tuning saying that they do, a while back...

Awesome write up. If all goes to plan I'll be revisiting this post in a few weeks

I am very happy I installed this dump. It definitely improved performance and if I ever upgrade turbos it will make all the difference. I couldn't be happier with the sound of this setup with STI muffs. The dump gives a slightly deeper note on idle and noticeably throatier on full noise - I think this is moreso the stainless. Sounded a bit tinny to begin with but has mellowed to a very nice note. Expect some little pops on gear changes at WOT with the high flow cat. Could just be the tune.
