Beauty of mph is that it's very hard to muck up, unless you get off the throttle before the finish line or aren't holding the throttle down 100%. Pretty hard to do either consistently, so if your trap speeds are within a few mph each run this isn't happening.

Just drop the exhaust before the cat & drive around like that. Will still sound better than half the falcodore sh*tboxes on the road!!

I'll get the cat sorted and some real tyres for it, I've got till september to get it sorted haha

Not really, it needs to be sorted asap. If that cat keeps getting worse (which it will), it will get to a point where the cat/dump/rear housing will get so hot they will superheat the air going through the compressor housing so much that the cooler wont 'cool' it enough, resulting in detonation once it reaches the combustion chamber. Same thing happens when you try running a small/restrictive exhaust on a motor you're smashing lots of boost into. Will also lead to overboost issues if this happens as your internal gate wont be able to open due to excessive backpressure.

Failed cats are extremely dangerous, especially when driving it in a manner that warrants new tyres every 4 weeks

Was meaning getting the tyres sorted for September, the Cat is on the list of priorities

also, drove my sisters FG XR6T ute. got a compleatly different feel to it. seems to have more power sooner, and its more consistant. where as mine has that moment of lag then suddenly kicks in. has any1 here got the FG F6 turbo with just exhaust/intake mods? Josh, did u upgrade your turbo or is it still stock?

[Slash]

Of course it will feel like it's more responsive, that's the whole idea of releasing them with a smaller frame turbo.

I have a favour to ask.

Someone with good mechanical knowledge able to come and look at my Subaru? Need to get a rough idea what I'll need to fix it up.

I need to get a battery for it as they took that, needs new ignition barrel, new air intake, ICC panels need replacing etc but that's not an issue. Looking in the engine, there's oil/grease all around the CV's so I'm not sure what the go is there.

I'd like to, if possible, get it back and working, then try sell it to make up some of my recent losses. There's beer/bourbs in it for anyone willing/able to help

Can make a day of it if ya's like haha.
