CnJ motorsport in Underwood.  They did the work also.

that's a great dyno result!  what kind of boost are you running?

I don't know if your a member of the Rexnet forum or not, but you should be able to get some ideas from this thread.

Good luck mate!

I certainly don't want to go a front mount as I prefer the vehicle to look as it does.  I think (know) that I am too old to need the visuals of a front mount etc and I also don't want to bastardise the vehicle to fit a front mount either.

I guess I am happy to be guided by the likes of Bill and Kel at CnJ who are playing with our cars all of the time.

From what Kel has told me, the VF37 is a twin scroll, the same as the standard turbo and will bolt straight on with no additional mods apart from re-tuning the Uni Chip.  Sounds good to me.

Not really.

Although I haven't seen a GT that has had a front mount fitted, I can only guess that there would be major mods needed to the bumper etc and I don't need that.

At 50 something I am happy to have a standard looking vehicle that will kick arse if it needs to.

Maybe I am just a sneaky old bast**d.

I was bored tonight, so did the resonatorectomy mod.  The intake resonator/silencer is a black bottle that is connected to, and sits directly below the air box. 

The sound of air being sucked in is alot louder, and gives the intake a throaty roaring noise when giving it reasonable throttle - especially around 2,500rpm to 4,000rpm .  The BOV is slightly more audible when easing off throttle, but still barely noticeable.  No noticeable performance gain - just abit more noise! 

Took about 30mins to do (with my dodgy tools).  When fitting everything back on, I managed to break the clips that hold the intake/snorkel bit in place because I was lazy and forced them in, but they're easily replaced.

Hi Chappo,

Those instructions are excellent, easy to follow,  a resonatorectomy will be next job on the list for me.

Thanks Chappo. 
if you're blocking the hole up (rather than simply removing the resonator), then isn't this effectively the same as having the resonator on?
I simply removed my resonator, and left the hole open (it would be difficult for dirt/water to get up through the splash guard)

My resonatorectomy was a little more violent than simply taking it out, tho prolly illegal, IMO it sounds like a turbo winding up, when accelerating, or sorta like a wee little jet taking off.

were the resonator used to be

illegal bit i think

i've posted this ellswere on the forum, but i think its relevent here as well. ^_^

Nice information you've put together there Chappo.

Good stuff :victory:

I am not sure about the Uni-chip having a module for the fly by wire throttle but the issue only became evident with my car after the chip was fitted.  Apparently there are many other people having similar issues and I am not sure if they all have a chip or not.

If anyone has found a way to overcome the problem I would love to know about it.  It is not major issue, just a pain in the ar#@ when it happens and it generally happens at the bottom of my street which is a sharp left-hander that then goes up-hill in a hurry.

Just the same as yours. 

No worries on the strip or normal driving.  It reminds me of the old "kangaroo-ing" from days gone by when you go around a corner or up a hill in too high a gear.  It is almost like it momentarily starves for fuel.
