spec.B Dream Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'm having Infamous1 (Shamar) make me a tune http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103997 and I'm having some issues. After reviewing my logs, Shamar says my car is way overboosting. I believe it is stock other than the exhaust, but I can't be sure because I bought it used. He suggested that I might have either an MBC or Invidia dp with wastegate flapper issue. I see no evidence of MBC (but I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for). Can anyone here help me identify my dp? http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg313/civexsi/DSC_0177.jpg http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg313/civexsi/DSC_0178.jpg Thanks, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetsulo Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Does not look anything like the Invidia DP I just recieved. The whole bellmouth doesn't look the same at all. Could be an earlier model though I guess. Good luck! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkness of Death Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 it's not an autospeed for sure not a cobb. that knocks two off the list ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetsulo Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Possibly an HKS? It has a bung on the top like yours http://www.hksusa.com/images_products/3601.jpg I'm just guessing tho. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasopoliS Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 My vote is Megan Racing catless DP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec.B Dream Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 What exhasut is this hooked up too? does it use a donut style gasket or a flat style gasket? Not sure, there are no markings on the 3" mid pipe. I can't tell the style of gasket from getting on my knees and looking under the car. All I can see is that where it connects to the mid, there is a metal band around the connection. It looks like a hose clamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Its not HKS if the HKS is cast up top. Its definitely a Megan Racing, or possibly some Ebay brand. For this case I am not sure it matters. You have a catless bellmouth DP. From a tuning perspective there is not much more to know. You might want to look into the wastegate acutator or ebcs (electronic boost control solenoid).

If there is a clamp at the DP/mid connection then it is not a MR.... it might be a full turbo-back with slip-joint & clamp connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetsulo Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Forgot about the casting. I'm at work and the pics are being filtered. I'm going from memory from last night Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a clamp at the DP/mid connection then it is not a MR.... it might be a full turbo-back with slip-joint & clamp connections. That's what it looks like. There is the clamp connector to the mid pipe and then the mid an y are welded as a one-piece unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
