Yeah you are going to want to remove the pipe that the second cat is attached to and bang it on the ground so that all the material from your first cat is not blocking the second cat which in turn gives loss of power and possibly a situation in which the backpressure is so high that it breaks your e...

lol if you guys look at my pics you can see the melted plastic from my o2 sensor wire sleeve on my exhaust manifold. Im going to have to re route my oil line as well because it is right in the line of fire. As a side note i havent detonated at all under boost with the regulator i got even with the r...

I'd disagree with Ant DX316.... the intercooler should be your least concerning part..... some turbo engines ( like the C20GET ) aren't even intercooled.

Im buying a TD04 turbo along with various things like a fuel pressure regulator, manual boost controller, and a boost guage. What should i expect to gain out of it? Im doing this all for one t...
