Gains from pipework and coolers ?(Result data on page 2)
In the last two days i have replaced my coolers and intake pipework from the maf down, what sort of gains could i see on a K24 car running 1.1bar flash.
Engine dropped and old coolers and pipework removed
Inlet of old GT2 coolers compared to Bell cored units.
Old pipework compared to alloy hard pipe.

I dont know who actualy made them, i bought the coolers and pipework from Al Norton off here. They were awkward to fit with the engine still in place but the fit on them is great clearance wise.

No, you also get faster spool and less power die off up top due to maxed out airflow through stock intake piping. My car also have much more audible turbo noise once I replaced the stock intake piping.
As far as ICs, my car boosted 0.1 bar higher after I upgraded. I guess the stock ICs were not allowing as much boost by as the ECU was calling for. I doubt the OP will see much of a boost increase with his tune though.

EVOMS GT700 kit adds the intake piping and a tune (and some other less vital items) and adds 40 crank hp. The ICs would probably be good for a few more.

Thanks for the info guys i know i wont see big gains because of the smaller turbos, but will report back my findings once i have been for a test drive.
Im going to disconnect the batery for half an hour to reset the ecu then go for a drive to let it addapt. I also took some Durametric logs before changing the parts so will do the same runs after to compare temps and at wich points boost builds.

I have just been out and did 25 miles in the car , and im pleased to say there are no new knocks or rattles and actualy think i have fixed some of the old one while i was under there 
.
The car seems to rev more freely, sounds slightly different , and boosts earlyer its hard to watch the boost gauge while on bumpy back roads but looked to be making 1.1bar just after 3000 rpm in 3rd and 4th. I will try to get some proper data logs tonight once the roads are quieter , so we can compare them to the last set of data.
