So you think it would be safe to upgrade the exhaust before the BIPES?
Here is my thinking now
1. BIPES
2. DP/exhaust
3. I/C
You guys think that is the proper sequence or doesn't it matter too much?

Allowing your car to cool down before shutting off the engine is supposed to help with thermal expansion and contraction. Beyond that and the relief cuts, I honestly don't know what else you can do.
Go here for the replacement, if you want to go this route:

Well i used to have a MK3 Supra Turbo and the HG was the weak link there.
I always made sure she was up to temp before boosting and let her cool down afterwards...so i guess you could say that I am used to proper heat up and cool down procedures....

Yes, it matters alot. Do the bipes first, tune the car and see if you want more power. If you do, then the IC (or WI) would be the next step because you will probably want to increase your boost pressure and will need the cooling. DP/exhaust only helps to remove the bottlenecks in flow and should be done as the last step - say after you have gotten 95% of the power possible out of your base system. Allowing a poorly tuned, knocking engine to breathe a little better will not help you.

- Timing
- Blow off valve
- Clutch
- Intercooler
- Exhaust
The timing controller will allow for reasonable timing advance and will make the car more pleasant to drive. The BOV will make the turbo last longer. If you yearn for more power at that point, go ahead and get a clutch installed and broken in, then add the things that will let the turbo breathe.

The Bipes should be your first upgrade. It will protect your engine and give you better low end torque. Good tuning is where you make power. Bad tuning with a nice IC, header, and all that other stuff still means blown engine or crappy power.
BTW, I am not a Greddy owner so I don't know what comes in a base kit. I am assuming you are getting proper fueling.

I agree I think safeguarding against detonation should be the first step as well. It makes sense, you dont want to push things with out proper timing or fuel control.
I know the greddy comes with a secondary fuel pressure regulator. I am not sure what the max capability of this though. Anyone?
THanks

Max capability of the afpr is @ 6psi...
You can add diff discs to the afpr, combined with a hp fuelpump to a higher level..but youll need an ic , 1.8 dif, better cluch...to go anywhere from 6 psi...
An ignition retarder is also nice.
Stick with the oem greddy for now and read a lott!!!!!

I am pretty sure i saw a few pictures of people running a VTA BOV with no I/C before?
Thanks

I ran VTA with an ebay knock off without any problems. You're correct: You don't want the BOV to draw in air that bypasses the air-metering device. If the valve is a leak, it can typically be plugged by putting a one way valve (check valve) between the bov and intake tube. If you need such a device, user SamNavy has a bosch BOV with a check valve for sale in the classifieds for $20 or $30.

Holland is very small, but its on the west coast off Holland, but i understand the confusion:
It is near Belgium and Germany (150 miles) but thats about the size of my country.
I believe north-south is 200miles , east west 100-150 miles
Did you like it?

From me to your mother: ask her if she misses DROP... (dutch candy, everybody else hates it...)
(english is not my main language, as you already read...It's difficult , like you to learn dutch...)

Hi I checked your map out. Actually it is called Heerlen and it is near Maastricht. I had a great time in Holland though, hopefully I can come back in the next few years (staying with relatives keeps the price down)
I know what you are talking about. I like drops actually, i think you have too be dutch though...no one I know likes them either...
