Yup, just centre cat will do. If you can ensure the cars warm/hot when you drop it of, all the better.

Ive said it in the past, but Im not so sure now. If you can get the catalytic converter hot enough it will do; youll need to be right up at the top of the RPM limit too.

I know what thatll be without looking.... A flow chart from the testers manual? The old chap doing the MOT couldnt work out how to enter an unregistered and unlisted car on the system so it went through as a Turbo 200 AWD. Because the original DP was still in place that wasnt an issue, after a damned long warm up.
