I have a MY97 with a TSL backbox and a ITG panel filter.
I can't decide between fitting a Dawes Device (with boost gague and AFR) or to go for the more conventional way of getting more power by letting it breath and buying the TSL downpipe.
People are saying you get about 10% more power from the Dawes, what should I be getting from a downpipe?
Could people let me know there opnions on both?
Thanks
Victoria

Victoria,
If you want to know about downpipe benefits, see here:

AFAIK the downpipe gives about 10bhp, but this is not the whole story, turbo spools up a lot earlier to.
I have the the Scoobysport DP, but I saw the TSL one when I was up there and they look similiar in design.
Cheers

If you can stretch to it i recommend fitting both together.
With the downpipe on its own you may get boost spikes which the dawes will reduce if not completely cure.
You can pick up a dawes relatively cheap and its easy as a DIY fit (taking a few precautions - plenty of info on the subject in other threads).
As it happens I was running a dawes on a MY97 myself (set to 15PSI) and having a full decat system fitted tomorrow (after MOT) - i'll let you know the difference.
