New turbo, equal length headers & MSR tune

by **jacks-GTB** » Sun Oct 16, 2011 8:31 pm

I'm getting my TD05 18g, and equal length headers put on, in about a week at MSR, hopefully see some good power gains..! Michael Said I should get a pretty good power..! (:

Nice choice on the 18g, any reason you didn't go the 20g?

I'm looking at one of these as a turbo upgrade early next year, I already have most of the supporting mods, have fuel pump on the way, already have twin scroll dump, TMIC, intake. what else do you need to change to make them fit? Custom up pipe?

Any chance you could ask Michael what DUMP he likes on GT spec B? I know he sells x force but they don't list one for the liberty.

cheers mate... i went the 18g, because i didn't want to much turbo lag and i researched that there wasn't alot in power differance in the both.

yeah you have it all...do you have a spliter in the dump pipe? you shouldn't need to change anything if it's straight swap turbo upgrade change.. if your doing an up pipe, then you should do the whole manifold(equal length), because you have a better power gain...

what intake did you do?

you have good supporting mods though...! TOPS :wink:

Awesome, I think I might go 20g as I want a little more lag, save some petty off boost lol.
Yea I wasn't sure about the up pipe, had some yes and some no's about if I needed to change it, I would go equal length too if I changed it

. Amazing sound with the subby boxer,

K&N typhoo intake with double wall heat shield.
Fitting Perrin silicone inlet when the new turbo goes on.

May I ask where you got the 18g from and a aprox price? Have only looked at a few website and can't even find a twin scroll one yet,

. They where all around $2,000.

Did you have a projected Kwatw after mods + tune?

what is model is your liberty?

Michael loves xforce,
I have been doing lots of research on dumps...i sent him heaps of pics on dump pipes...and i'm not gonna mention which dump pipes, but he said they were crap...he said stick to xforce...the best and really cheap as well..

i rang xforce & they have made them for lib now...its not on there website yet

hahaha..

i know you can some good gains from the eq length headers, just make sure you get them ceramic coated...

just a question, did you keep the forced rammed induction on the standard intake..? because Michael recommends this? have a look at his website..!

i bought a kando dynamics turbo...they also do great headers...!!

im not sure what i'll get power, don't wanna have crazy high hopes...

by **t.renshaw34** » Sun Oct 23, 2011 8:17 pm

Umm it's a K&N pod with black powdercoated steal intake pipe, then going to put a silicone turbo inlet hose with it when the turbo goes on.

So I'm not sure sorry.

Yours is the blouch 18g turbo yea?

by **Keavo** » Tue Oct 25, 2011 6:42 pm

It's good to know x force have a dump pipe for the Lib. How is the quality of the kando turbo?

by **Rome_BRZ** » Wed Oct 26, 2011 9:43 am

It better not have been Phat's that he said was crap because clearly from forum wide experience that is far from the case

by **Keavo** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 2:17 pm

Have you had the tune? How did you go?

by **jacks-GTB** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 9:29 pm

i just dropped it off this arvo... Michael said we should see some good results...

by **t.renshaw34** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 11:02 pm
