I am currently using it on my Audi A4 with a GT28R ballbearing turbo kit and it works great...even if ur at 3000pms and cruising without full throtle you should not be building boost...my car runs at around 3100@ 75mph and i have no problems with the valve opening unless under full load (22psi)..it however does open @ 15psi...it gets about the same power you would have at full throttle that you would from just a dump pipe..im guessing 10whp on my application but it varies from car to car and turbo to turbo..and yes it is street legal because u still keep ur stock exaust..in KY at least

Literally. There are not words to describe what I've just seen... But I sure would like to meet the previous owner...

woah sandy's back in action and she's startin it off with some high quality flamin..don't burn the rice too bad.

newsr20, I used to inpect cars here in ny at various garages, and i'm not even sure if that would pas ny laws or not...i know it keeps stock exhaust...but it technically doesnt when your driving. I'm not sure how someone inspecting a car with that on it would react up here lol...it's probably just the kind of thing where it's up to whoever's inspecting your car at the time.

but it says FULLY open at 15psi, doesnt that mean its partially open at say 5 psi of boost? that means you'd still be bypassing exhaust at 3000rpm which in some states is the speed they take you on the rollers inspection.

That's by far one of the ****ing ugliest cars i have ever seen. Its riced out more than most honda civics. Ive got a great idea for you. Why dont you repaint it half yellow and half lime green and slap on some blue flame vinyls? And then u can put some GT-R badges on it. Then after all that you can get some chrome tail lights. Finally to top it off you can mount a wing 5 inches higher than the roof on your car. Do you plan to get "sidewayz" in your "GT-R Power" 240?

I guess no one bothers to listen to the new owner of the car. If you bothered to look, the aeros are gone, its getting an s15 front and things are pretty much getting done. I'm sure that somewhere down the road jonesbplayer is gonna have the car in his sig and no one will even recognize it. But that's ok, we'll just keep it to the vert forums.

Keep us updated in the convertible forum with the progress.

holy sh*t!!! i just saw that car today when i was driving away from my girlfriends house today in downey heading toward the 605 on florence.. lol... haha.. but yeah, can't believe i saw it today.. small worldoh.. but wait, the owner said its in baton Rogue la... not too sure where thats at, but doesnt sound anywhere near so cal.i guess the car i saw had the exact same color and bodykit on a vert... i guess that makes it a smaller world that two people would have the same one idea (ugly.. sorry, i'm just being real).

Yes this is an extreme case of wrong doing. I have actually come across this during part searches on eBay, got a good chuckle out of it then. Now I just feel bad for the person who thinks this is cool or whatever, obviously not someone who actually likes 240’s.

well my original core support got bent during a recent accident for those of you who didn't know. So it had to go. Quicker and cheaper to change out rather that try to straighten.

I love how every car being sold with a nitrous set up has "everything installed, but never used". LOL Does someone really think I'm stupid enough to believe that....

"When the engine was replace the nitrous system was removed but the lines, gauges and boost switch remains. " ...yeah right

add another one to the list. I don't care how the car use to look or what it use to do. After I finish with the body i have a sr20 I'm lining up to put in. Thats why I'm not using any of that. This car isn't going on anyone's track. Its for me so i will do with it what I want. Its my toy to fix and mod how I want. I thought more people would support me. Those of you who have thank you. Those of you who don't oh well you won't have to race me so there is nothing else to talk about. Thanks for the support
