Also should I just get the Bosch 710's or get the new strats. Iv'e read the aftermarket valves are a waste of money and also wear quickly.

Default The bi-pipe looks well made but also looks as if it actually restricts boost flow...

Also what is the difference between the TT valves and the 710's.

How do you figure it restricts boost flow?

The diameter looks as if it tapers smaller than the Stock boot

Default It's actually bigger than stock

and the insides of it are "ported" for higher flow. If you take a comparo of the stock pieces and sit them side by side with the bi-pipe, you'll notice an increase in size.

Default Consider that I went through

multiple torn TBBs both stock and Samco. Yes. It's a for sure bullet proof item for the weany TBB. If the TBB tears, you will momentarily overspin your turbos. If those go, you are looking at massive warranty work or a 4K+ bill.

Default I hope someone has checked, because their 'apparently' larger downpipes

are smaller than our stock ones ;-)
