It would mate for sure! But manifolds would double the cost again! lol

I do think the 60 trim / .48 exhaust would be nearly as good as the GT28R.
(If I had the extra $$$ I would probably go with the GT28R as well.)

However, with the boost levels you run I would have a dumpvalve installed.
I know guys in the UK like the sound of turbo flutter, but that is terribly hard on turbos.
The Bosch type plumb back systems are quiet, and greatly extend turbo life, along with better spool between gear changes.

Just my opinion of course.

Keep up the good work!
It is expensive but thats what they cost in the UK
It would be a shame to fit a DV but if it really is going to make a difference then I will?!
Never read anything definitive on them, some say fine without them others say they are a must for high boost applications
