Feeling confident , so I am going to be self-fitting a Mongoose turbo-back system to a UK spec 1999T reg. What do I need to know, particularly with regards to the lambda sensors etc. Have fitted many many exhausts in the past, but not turbo backs.

Thanks!!

Its probably seized

Seriously - apply liberal amounts of wd40 to both the sensor threads and the nuts securing the old downpipe to the turbo a couple of hours before removing.

Other than that its straight forward.

Haven't got the Mongoose yet, so is there a place on the Mongoose for the lambda sensors to fit straight in, even though there are no CAT's??

I had a mongoose already fitted when I bought my legacy (excellent deep sound btw) - it had fitment for the lambda sensor in the top of the downpipe.

Should be the same with yours.
