Hi all getting a rs turbo off one of my mates tomoro and it's a real nice one completely standard even down to the exhaust and the air box. I'm after a bit of burble from the exhaust just wondered what people are using is mongoose best. Also what's best to get it a bit quicker still running mfi but wanna keep it like that's thanks in advance

 

Mongoose is the best about for the rs turbo ,just go for a chip upgrade in the ecu ,also keep the standard exhaust dont throw it away

 

Mongoose have a lovely tone to them

 

thanks for reply yea mongoose look good is it a 4 inch tail pipe that every one has and with a chip would I need a actuator as well thanks

 

i have the 3" system with the rolled in tail pipe it still has a nice sound, i had Magnex and Scorpion systems in the past and the Mongoose is best by a mile for sound and flow.

 

yes normally actuator too -31

 

Ok great cheers guys probably go for 3.5 as 4 will probably be well loud gonna have to polybush it as well as car is well wavey on the motorway dont feel planted at all

 

Where is best place to get a mongoose from with a 3" outward rolled tail pipe...I cunnenty have a 4" system all way through and I don't like it .

 

Have you got a mongoose at the min have ya why don't ya like the 4inch is it to loud only ask as I'm not sure what to for my self. You can get them on burton power website choice of how big ya want

 

Collins performance engineering i beleve.

 

No mate I'm not sure what one I have but it fits rubbish and hangs low ..sounds lovely tho .

 

Looks like a magnex ,have you a pic of the actual box

 

It's not magnex mate I've checked ..it's hand made ..nice exhaust ..maybe I should have a play and see if I can get it to sort better and change the tail pipe...but just be easier to buy a mongoose

 

i hate the way they hang where the lower suspension arm mounts are saying that the mongoose has a bracket and hanger there.

 

That's why I hate mine looks rubbish ..I'm getting a mongoose

 

I'm running a 4" full Scorpion with an Evolution chip, I'm happy

 

urs 3'' bore ?

Looks like the mongoose inward rolled 3'' system from that angle ?

Any of the rear box and how the seams are done ?

Need to pull my finger out and sort mine out ive got the 3'' goose with outward rolled pipe. Took me years to find a good un damaged one too. This is my 4th one. Most I purchased didn't even know it was a mongoose system. One chap told me he was taking off his magnex to buy his dream 3'' bore mongoose. I didn't have the nerve to tell him he'd just took a mongoose off his car

 

Here's the best pics of it ..it's 4" turbo back

 

Swear that's a mongoose 3'' bore system.

I'm confused though the last pic shows outward rolled tip ?

I can tell by the back box its a Mongoose though, slightly oval with the banding for the hanger all rolled edge seems. Deffo 3'' pipework too it looks huge

 

That last pic is the camera angle making the tip look like outward rolled mate ..if it's a mongoose I might have it all altered to sit better and fit a outward roller tip ..it's sounds lovely tho I must admit.

 

does look like a Mongoose box and tail pipe same as i have, positive mine tucks up better than that at the back.

 

It hangs shit at the back ..I need a bracket making and it fitting better and a outward rolled tip ...be pucka then.

 

Never heard or seen a 4"bore mongoose ...2.5 and 3" yip....or was this a made for order sale .....also Thot all mongoose systems came fitted with extra rear hange..

Maybe better trying to get it to fit rather than change it

 

looks the same as mine but as i said sure it sits closer to the bumper has it got the bracket right where the bend is at the rear as this holds it up the band on the rear box can be twisted to adjust it im sire i ended up welding one of the joins because it wes turning once it had been hot and cooled down.

 

It might be 3" not 4 ..yea I think I'll have a play and get it to fit better and change the tip to a outward rolled one.

 

As for more power a MSD chip, -31 actuator and then a tune up at a suitable tuner will see a few more BHP assuming everything is in good working order, your standard turbo and clutch will be your limiting factors.

 

Had a mongoose 3 inch put on plus 31 actuator and panel filter with a tune totally different car now pulls really well thanks guys.

 

Good to hear mate
