im not making my own, the price of getting the exhaust done is the only thing worrying me, & i know a custom downpipe for an internal wastegate is a little more complicated to make compared to a downpipe with no wastegate exit...Quote:

just run the internal gate should be 200-250 for the dump pipe.
My mate got a 2.5 inch full exhaust for his SSS turbo dump high flow cat piping xforce 3" cannon and it cost him $800 so you will be looking around that sorta price
already got the muffler, ive got a family member that can get the bends & piping for cheap, so all i really need from exhaust shop is resonator, flex pipe, flanges & 02 bungs. im keeping the stock cat because its already a hi flow unit (honeycomb stuff fell out at some point). I may even just keep the 2.25" system i have on it now & just get mandrel bends fitted...
For the dump pipe issue, i may be able to fit a stock GTiR dump pipe, so it clears ac compressor & can get one cheap.
well see here's the thing. ive only heard people running the AFC hack on typical Y8, Z6, B16As, etc. ive not heard one person use it with a Y4 probably because they wouldnt bother. but, there may be other people out there in a similar situation who can only use an AFC.Quote:

pretty much all the guinuea pigs moved onto better solutions and thats a fact. so you are abit late.
if you do the AFC HACK on a b16a+turbo in this day and ages with such inexpensive and reliable ecu options you the dumbest person out.

do you yourself
tune it yourself
then once you have a clue about engine management you will turn around and say fukc that AFC shit, I wouldnt even piss on it.
thats true, if i had a B16A turbo, id get the conversion harness & chipped ecu. but, since there's alot of other stuff & more expensive parts to purchase to fully tune the Y4, & ontop of that either diy tuning or dyno tuning, there's about $2k, when i can just get this AFC, wire it into my existing harness, then if i feel i need to upgrade, i can save in the meantime while im using the AFC...Quote:
