NCWSTi · 09-12-2005, 03:55 PM

Tomorrow i will be installing my invidia v3 downpipe and g200 catback, also my defi gauges with oil pressure, egt, and boost

any suggestions or advice before jumping in on this big journey, im hoping to have it all done in 8 hrs or less

im very mechanicly inclined and always do all my work on my cars

Should i port my wastegate while ive got the car apart i was thinkin no since ive got the v3 with my Accessport

cant wait to feel stage 2 on the ap major excited

thanks in advance for the advice

Well since you have the AP, I would just take it easy and watch your gauge to see if you are having a problem with boost creep.

Other than that, take your time, and soak those exhaust bolts/nuts with some good penetrant before you start.

Thats the exhaust I want to get, no advice, but good luck with it....and may I request some vids!!!!!!! Drive by if possible! Haven't seen a G200 drive by yet, just curious on the sound.

pb blaster works great. just installed my invidia n1 turboback last week. my stock exhaust was on my car for 2 years/30000 miles. soaked the downpipe bolts w/ pb blaster and they came right off. was able to take it off in one piece as well. btw, prepare to be loud.

What is PB blaster please? Is this better than WD-40?

Downpipe from Cobb has shipped, due Friday.

PB Blaster is WD-40 on freaking steroids!

Eh, it's pretty good stuff
