Are you refering to a downpipe???
If so you will get good gains. Faster spool up, more boost (Proberbly hitting the boost inhibitor), More torque and power. But as for figures, not sure. Its a contraversial subject some say 25bhp+ some say nothing etc etc but if you remove the cat you will get a lot better performance on its own. You also get better fuel economy, but not that much. Something like a few miles/gallon better to a tank.
Hope this helps.

Ps sounds alot better too. The turbo wissles louder

thanks ronnie i have a a downpipe with a decat allready
the uppipe is the pipe that goes from the exhaust manifold to the turbo and is very restrictive and as my engine is having a full rebuild and as such is out of the car it is a easier job to fit the uppipe and thus is the reason for the post
thanks mark
