Message	on the deceleration at stop lights ( gutted stock downpipes and stillen race pipe )...i'm not the only one ..just the only one talking about it now...this happenned on my stock turbos and I was max boosting at 17psi and it was a daily driver ( 20k/yr )...i spoke to ben at jwt --he said any turbo built using the original housings will need some backpressure --he said it closes one of the seals at idle --I don't remember the more technical answer ---call jwt if you want to know .... so i got the random tech 3inch downpipe and random tech 3inch high flow cat ---no problems on my 500 which I recently sold with 20k miles...if I had to do it all over again and $$ wasnt an issue --i'd get hks turbos.... hks and greddy are designed with straight downpipes --- no backpressure... these are facts ---not opinions ~~ 430rwhp and 460 lbs/tq ~~ ( on Sport 500's ) ~~ 400 rwhp from 4500 RPM's to red line ~~ :) ~~ 400 ft/lbs from 3700 RPM's to red line ~~ :) --- I HATE STILLEN --- 99 Yamaha R1 ( the blue 1 ) 87 Nissan Pathfinder
