ZZP Stage 2 turbo

I didn't just realize this but since having a job I want to buy some parts well I was going to get a DP(ZZP 2.5 catted) and header(bad-mad) but if eventually I want to go turbo so wouldn't buying them be pointless??

I was thinking about getting a Corsa I really like that deep tone or will that fit after I go TC?

i'm not sure. depends on the flange used. but iirc the downpipe ends right where majority of the catbacks start

You could always get it then say screw the flange and just have it welded on

OPTION 2: what is the atmosphere dump??
OPTION 3: dont think i want a boost controller..
OPTION 4: ill stick with the ZZP BOV,
OPTION 5: 2.5" vs 3" catted??
OPTION 6: no idea
CORE CHANGE im auto so they'll send me the PCM and TCM for $200

You'll want air to air, simpler and better for a daily

2) If you need to pass emissions and don't know anybody have the wastegate recirculate back into the exhaust.
3) You'll want a boost controller to have better control of what psi you want to run at.
4) Same thing, get the ZZP and save
5) Again if you need to pass emissions get a catted DP, 2.5 inch is good enough for the S256 and will bolt up to your catback
6) If it's a daily and not on a built engine the S256 is plenty capable.

If you plan on getting it tuned (HPT or Trifecta) don't worry about the core charges you want need them

Are you going to be doing the install?

ok i've read the air to liquid is more maintenance

(2) is that what the turbo DP is for??

and there's a local car dealer and they apparently love working on fords and chevy's so i was going to talk to them and see how much in install would run me.. idk if they tune but if not probably trifecta since its cheaper

No, The downpipe is where the exhaust gases from the turbo go. The wastegate controls how much exhaust gas actually goes through the turbo, some are forced to bypass the turbo and go down the dumptube. This can be recirculated back into the exhaust to pass emissions or to the atmosphere and be badass

Atmosphere dump is also a lot louder at wide open throttle because you are basically having exhaust bypass the exhaust system so it comes out really loud

Will there be a power difference between the 2.5 and 3 inch DP and catted vs non?? I know non catted is less restriction but that also means NOISEE i dont want a shitty sounding exhaust..

Really no offense dude but read up on turbo systems before you dive into one. Garrett has great information on their website on everything from start to finish. It will really help you gain an understanding on what you're getting into.

The turbo itself will quiet the exhaust down some also so that's something to think about. The atmosphere dump will probably be louder than the catless downpipe

I have the wastegate recirculate back into the exhaust, makes the car quiter....

yes go air to air, is simpler, air to liquid is good but is too much clutter in the engine bay.

3)later in time you will want a boost controller... i thought the same and ended up buying a hallman boost controller, recommend by Blazin07SS
4) i only had one option at the time was tial bov
5) catted also will be quiter, i have catless, again it was the only option at the time.

my goal was a quite boosted car
BLAZIN07SS knows what im talking about lol
