Single Cat TBE ok for Zilla 20g?

xn00dlesx · 08-23-2005, 05:26 PM

Currently have a Helix catted DP w/ 3" cbe on stock turbo. Thinking of moving up to a Zilla 20g(with supporting mods). Talking with SS, he gets more torque out of catted systems than catless, and since low-end torque is what i'm really going for here, wondering if it would maybe help instead of hurt. Wondering where the line is drawn for a TBE to be catless in order to make more power.

Any experiences or knowledge on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
SV

I ran a Helix catted d/p with my 20g for a while and it works fantastic. You will have no problems. Good luck!

Sweeet! I plan on a Topspeed tune as well, so hopefully I would get simular numbers.

If you are ever down in the ATL area I would LOVE a ride in your current setup.

Topspeed (if i decide to go with bigger turbo)

reasons??

Doug has more experience with bigger turbos and can tune it in roughly 1-2 hours. SS did my first tune and I think worlds of how great of a tuner and buddy he is, but I want to see what Doug can do. I am previledged to live in ATL and have access to both of these guys.

Anytime man. The next time I venture down there will probably be for an ACT install and tune. Hopefully...that won't have to happen really soon.
