Default Scorpion exhausts look

I started a post a while back about them i had one on my 3 door & loads of ppl said they are restrictive so andy was going to pick his engine up from harvey & was going to mongoose as well to pick up a few fiesta st exhausts so he picked me up a 3,5 mongoose system. With the scorpion my car wouldnt boost by 25 psi you could wind the actuator up as much as you want , its running p8 with air injectors. so i got the mongoose fitted today & the car is now hitting a boost limit at 32 psi & all i have done is change the exhaust.Just shows how restrictive these fuckers are need only put half a hole on the actuator now & hopefully should be right enough

didnt know it would make the difference it did i was shocked today , chris mine were supplied with the engine it was mapped on them if your ever going for another mapping session might be worth thinking about air injectors

To get 25 psi i had to put about 3 turns on the actuator & with the air injectors it should have been half a hole
