de-cat or not de-cat

[caseyj]

i am thinking of putting de-cats on my ztt, some people say not to some say will do no harm, only bad point i have heard is that i should get the rear seals on the turbos checked first, is this true, can any one help????? :

Depends on the age of the car too as a decat may fail an MOT after 1994 i think

Problem is, there's no way of checking the condition of the rear seals on the turbos :confused: Only way you can get anywhere even close to protecting yourself is to replace the PCVs and related hoses (breather system) before you decat, but this is in NO way a 100% guarantee :(
