Cool

I've got UK MY00 turbo and recently had a WR Sport backbox fitted. All very nice thank you. I'm soon (hopefully) getting a P1 centre section as well as an ITG panel filter.
Silly question is then, can these changes to the exhaust system cause any problems upstream at the engine and turbo? I appreciate that the airflow through the system may well now be a bit "free-er" I just wonder if anything needs to be done at the engine end to compensate at all...
Cheers

Simon,
I have a my00 with downpipe and backbox from scoobysport, no problem, and just to clarify, nothing needs doing except trying not to grin like chesire cat all day.

Hi there,

I recently fitted an STi back box and ITG filter, the only problem I have is that the car pulls better now... centre section is next for replacement, looking for a used P1 item...

Hi,

I have fitted the STi backbox and a Magnex centre along with RAMAIR filter panel. Car definitely seems to pull better in mid-range. No problems though.

Also awaiting result on my recently installed broquet tubes.
