Turbo Exhausts Question's

[mark1319]

That was my first thoughts and would would match up with how the cars performing. It's already got bigger injectors and a bigger turbo is on the cards, but it's waiting on BSR to release it.

The other choice is a live map, but I haven't found a company thats willing. Courtenay said no as there's no demand for it on the C Any idea of a company that would be willing to do this as I'd rather have the car running at peak performance obviously. Then when I do get a bigger turbo I could go to the same company again and it'd all be a lot easier.

What about Saab tuners mate?

Went there before I got the BSR PPC and was asking lots of questions about what they could do etc. First of all they thought it was the 210Bhp engine I had, then they couldn't tell me what was possible with my car and I would have to take the car to them so they could 'look' at it as they weren't sure themselves. That was the end of that and I'm not the only one to get that answer. TBH I don't think they have done anything to the C and there business is with SAAB's which is very good, but I just don't want to go in that direction.

the saab mapping is probably a route worth looking into, don't waste your money on a live map

Can't really seeing it being worth it as I doub it will be much different to what I've got already. Will give them a bell, but I expect I'll get the same answers as before TBH.

Whats so bad about live maps? Thought they were good as everything could be set-up to run at an optimal level????

 

[vocky]

the general feeling is they are not as good as a rolling road setup, it's impossible to create a steady mapping point whilst driving.

but saying that, to fine tune a map a road set up can sort small out niggly parts of a map that a rolling road can create

Alright I've obviously got my wires crossed as I thought a live map was done on an RR

OK who do you recommend to do an RR map as that's what I'm looking into and hopefully get it running better.

Here's a few pics of the exhaust and a video too. The reason for putting the camera to the front was to try and catch the whistle from the turbo as it's much better now with the downpipe.

The noise might not be to some peoples taste, but hear it on full chat and I'm sure it'll change your mind

That looks like a really well put together exhaust Mark, and it sounds really nice indeed

The quality is top notch apart from the left tail pipe being slightly squint, but otherwise it's well put together Will get the tip sorted at some point.
