Putting a Lexus V8 in them seems to do the trick :twisted:

Lexus V8 would be the go, if not then...

Boost gauage, boost controller, 14psi, 3" dump, 2.5" exhaust and race it...

No you're right... i got it round the wrong way... although 3" dump, 3" exhaust on a CT26 could work

you can fit 3" dumps onto the 2.4 surfs, its a tight squeeze. there is not a lot of difference between 3" and 2.5" but if your after ever little bit of HP......

yeah we know you can physically fit a 3" dump but the flange on the back of the turbo is only 2.5" so in my opinion you would only be kidding yaself!

plenty run them and get a bit more power than the 2.5". mind you we are talking directly off the turbo not the piddly little cast elbow that they have on them.
