my decat's come soon i'm not sure if i should decat straight away and risk tub seals going or waiting for a while my zed has done 100,000 miles and i sure there original tubs.

Dont decat unless you can afford to replace your tubs. Same advice to anyone thinking of doing it.

just decatted this week and no smoke so far *crossing fingers*

 

Sounds alot better but don't do it if you don't like booming exhausts

 

Power difference is really noticable too

Do it, remember a faint heart never ****ed a pig

i can replace the tubs its just the hassle to take the engine out to do them cause i know when the engine comes out it isn't going back in until it has had a rebuild

Replace the PCVs and hoses and fingers crossed your tubs will be fine ;)

i do get a bit of smoke from the left turbo but clears almost instantly i have been told this may be the PCV

Im not doing it till next autumn, then ill have the winter to change the tubs!

Well mine were done just before I bought the car a couple of weeks ago and all is ok so far

My n/s was smoking on tickover , did the pcv,s a while back , just de-catted and it,s now smoking from both sides , certainly feel the power difference but the smoke is embarassing in traffic :headvswal

Engine,s coming out in a few weeks to replace the tubs , turbo guy said as long as the tubs have been used de-catted from the start you shouldn,t have any problems :dance:

Mine is a UK car with approx 70k on the clock, always had a little smoke on idle. But after decat went worse, like Boldy says, you can feel the difference, but just be prepared for the worse. Mines having a full rebuild over winter.

if mine does start to smoke i will take it off the road straight away and i'll have to rebuild over winter but with work getting more and more busy i dont know if i'll have time
