It has a standard exhaust system on it. Firstly would in be ok just to put a high flow cat in it and if so what size is the standard exhaust. ( I forgot to look when inspecting car doh!)

I might bite the bullet and do the CAT and some injectors before I get it tuned. Do I need to get a CAPA flash tuner? Or just getting dyno tuned be good enough?

I have spent hours trolling the forum about how changing certain things caused overboosting. I can't beleive that this car has all this aftermarket gear on it and hasn't been tuned properly. We have Blacktrack Performance up here or maybe will give intune a ring in Sydney. I am picking car up this week, might have to get tune done before I drive it home, see how it goes I suppose. When I testdrove it, I couldn't give it much of a squirt cause the police where in the area, will have to wait and see how it goes on the highway. Thanks for your help Ace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
