Tonite with no other changes produced 425 rwhp/ 418 rwtq and dropped the boost to 17 psi.
In short:
3" exhaust with SP67: 425 rwhp/ 418 rwtq (17psi)
4" exhaust with SP67: 518 rwhp/ 475 rwtq (less backpressure raised boost to 19psi with no change to boost controller setting!) Quote:
so i would tend to believe 4" it definately worth it for big turbos..
