IBTL! First post. I swapped an L28et into my 280ZX turbo... or maybe it was already there.
How big should I make my exhaust? oh, and how big of an air filter should I buy?

I made a custom 3inch 90* bend pipe for my " cold air intake " and put on a stock cone filter ... made a huge differance in middle range horse power.. 2,000 rpm and up.... " the stock filter seems to breath eazier from 500rpm to 1,200 rpm... im useing the stock 3 inch pipes ? that came on the 280zxt... but you want more boost ? delet the catalistic converter with a 300zx z-31 test pipe ! i think u can still find them on ebay... next get a nice exhaust like mine ! lol make sure to get it welded on not clamped on...because evil little people look underneth your car and see its not welded on then " yank pull twist " ... you wake up in the morning time and see " oh damn my 120 dollar autozone muffler is gone ! " lol I have a T4 houseing with the upgraded intake wheel on a stock t3 houseing and let me tell u maxing boost at 1,800 rpms its krazy *** hell boost ! i did get to scared and put back on my stock t-3 turbo... why ? because i belive my clutch is slipping bad... " rear main seal leak " and rpms hit the rook in 1st gear now o-10 mph 6000 rpm 2nd gear 15 -20 rpm 6000 rpm... stock clutches dont mix with slightly modified 280zxts... i do plan on getting a better clutch next summer ! woop woop ! i got a second job !

#1... I take it you haven't realized: this thread is a joke on people making claims such as yours.
#2... A T4 wheel is larger, and thus would take LONGER to spool (1800 rpm is not likely... especially when everything else is stock).
#3... Stock clutches hold up quite well, UNLESS you do a lot of "roll backwards and slam into first" tricks.
