I have a MY 99 uk turbo and am planning to fit a scoobysport downpipe, what i need are fitting tips and possible problems i may encounter along the way, any suggestions greatly received.

 

You'll have to remove the intercooler firstly then spray the nuts and bolts with WD40 and then leave it over night to soak in . First time I did one it took me 2 days to do , the next time I did one it took me 2 1/2 hours . On my current car I let scoobysport do it , it took them 1.5 hours .

get yourself a decent quality 14mm rachet spanner saves a lot of work at the turbo end, halfords £8.00, well worth it it took me 2hrs to fit mine on my MY97 no problems it just came off easy, watch for damaging any VAC hoses though as i kinked one of mine resulting in a boost problem,it was a bugger to find as well as it was tiny, but go for it take the methodical approch if you are unsure what you are doing,i found a big difference in pick as the turbo spools up midrange torque is loads better now, hope this helps Rob

When you get it done let me know, I need an excuse to come up to Salisbury, and I can't think of a better one than to listen to a SS downpipe, plus, wicked from me to Salisbury.
