The guy is making the adapter. Actually I think he's making two up, so we can see what looks the best (as well as what works the best). Shouldn't take too long.

Yes I'm sure there's a chance of a test run in the car. Don't think it'll do all its running in around the Manchester area though, I do want it back lol. Though once it's all done I will organise some sort of mini-meet for anyone who wants to check it out.

Are you going to change the exhaust/back box to release some of the extra power and let the engine breath better Steve?

Not initially, no, but I may well do that later on. I think it could be interesting to dyno it before and after a new exhaust.

Should of asked on your build thread really mate Blush be interesting to see how the standard system handles the output from the turbo conversion :thumbup1:

Edit: just moved it over to your topic mate Big Grin

Yeah, Charlesworth think it should be fine to keep the OEM exhaust. Obviously a new exhaust may help things a bit, but after all it's not top-end power that I'm really after. I would be interested to see if it helps things lower down the rev range too, e.g. more responsive ?

Similarly, I'll be keeping the OEM cat. I may decide to swap to a high-flow cat later on down the line, but again it'll be interesting to see if I can do a before and after comparison. I'm not going down the de-cat route.

When i fitted the Veilside to mine it seemed to make quite a bit of difference lower in the rev range, but top end wise made no change,

Will the exhaust manifold and pre-cats be OK with the extra heat from the turbo mate? i know a few lads have had there pre-cats collapse under supercharger power in the past?

Thought i'd ask mate as i was having a read through again :thumbup1:

I'm using the SPC turbo manifold to replace the OEM manifold, so I won't have the OEM pre-cats any more, so should be fine.
