been offered a de-catted downpipe..not sure whether to get it or not..
Anyone have this fitted? how difficult is it to fit? any probs? been told its 5 bolts, a new gasket on the turbo end and a U-type clamp on the centre pipe.. did a search earlier, am right that the turbo heat shield will need to trimmed alittle?? Cheers for any info.. P1 scooby [Edited by P1_scooby - 9/6/2002 5:56:05 PM] |

Ninja,
Did you do it yourself or at a dealer/workshop??? Do you need to remove the top intercooler to get to all of the bolts?? Cheers |
It's either very easy or a complete shlaag to do. My mates old shape wrx was an hour jobbie on ramps.
My P1 which had only done 7.5k miles and was only 1 year old was an absolute ******* to do. Took me nearly 4 hours to do in the end. Reasons? - the bolts holding the dp onto the turbo had literally welded themselves in (apparently quite common). I had to drill the little buggers out.... But, you can't tell until you give it a go! - one thing I can say is it's definately worth it! Chris |
p.s. it's easier to remove the intercooler unless you can get access to a proper ramp...

steve lawson did mine ..try and use some wd40 or plus gas the night before to loosen them..seems the bolts on scoobs are crap
|
i fitted one to a my97, which was 3 yr old, no probs, then refitted it to a p1, one day old, no probs, removed it yesterday, took me longer to get the heatshield on than to remove and refit the downpipe
