i dont know what state the turbos are in, but they dont smoke presently. i have had a set of japspeed decats in my shed for a while now, but just the front decat not the downpipes from the turbos. so two questions

first can i use these are or they for an n/a?

second shouldi use them or am i asking for trouble, i think the cats are a bit restrictive at prestent.

so whats the vote?

i dont wanna have to recon the tubs as im on a budjet and it would be a pain in the ass pulling the block.

your cats will be well goosed if original anyway. imo only decat if your car is j reg or earlier as you can get in botha with vosa if not. decat i say!

if they are straight they are for turbo version. I would get them on yours are bound to be old and rusty anyway.

im just worried about turbo seal failure.

imo decat won't...doesn't cause turbo failure. if anything the freeflow gain from decat gives them a better chance at longevity.

Exactly mate - it doesn't.....

 

......however if your turbo seals are on the way out, then a decat will actually show the problem more as the absence of the cats will allow the dreaded blue smoke to be more visible!

 

So if you decat - or simply fit a less restrictive exhaust than standard - and start to see smoky turbos, that's because the problem was already there!!
