Default anyone with a japspeed decat downpipe help

hi i recentenly fitted a japspeed decat downpipe on my 94 wrx purchased from 2fast2cool on ebay, but upon fitting it i found it a very tight fit, but now ive just come across a old group buy for these & the ones for the new age & im wondering if they've sent & ive fitted one off a new age it had no markings on the box or anything but mine only had the one bracket down the bottom? thanks

thanks for that mate i was getting abit worried as i looked at a group buy on here for the japspeed decats & shows pictures for classic & new age & the classic picture shows the 2 brackets & i thought they might of sent me the wrong one cause it was rather tight & still havent managed to line the one bracket up with the hole yet on the bottom section, ive emailed both japspeed & 2fast2cool just to double check though peice of mind

just checking your car spec out do you get much overboost or hit fuel cut with the polar chip & full decat? im running same setup & getting slight overboost so going to have to fit a dawes device to lower it

car has never over boosted or hit fuel car since the decat , does yours still have the restrictor in the boost return pipe if this has been removed it can cause over boosting.

Also i remember when i fitted my japspeed decat i did have trouble with the bottom bracket , and had to bend it a bit to line up , hope this helps

yes its still got the ristrictor pill fitted, ive checked all the usual boost hoses etc & got new plugs & coilpacks, ive got a prosport gauge which logs the peak boost which is tad over 18psi which is about what the fuel cut is i think on the polar chip, have you had yours rolling roaded at all?

think thats what ill probably end up doing then bending the bracket, cheers mark

No not had it on a dyno yet , but it has made a big improvement in power , i had the coilpacks go aswell when i fitted the chip lol, mine boosts at around 17 psi max , could you try adjusting the waste gate on the turbo?
