How can I get small flames out of my exhaust?
Sorry for the chav question. Is this possible with a sportscat downpipe, and all the rest decatted.
What's that got to do with it?

i jus thought that any petrol turbo wold flame? i know there are somethings that encourage it. but to one guy up there, in my case what you said aint true
my car was completely standard when i bought it. it did have a powerflow system, but from centre piece back and backbox, so the cat wasnt touched, that popped and flamed.
now the car still has the custom powerflow centre section but with a blitz nur spec backbox fitted, that now pops and flames jus like in that youtube video does, except mine are more neater like ud see on a jetplane, rather than the flamethrower type flames in the video. i have a dump valve on mine also, but that wasnt fitted til my blitz was fitted, and it stil flamed and popped!
i would imagine tho that yes, if a ful decat system would burn alot more unused fuel through the system, as its mostly going straight through. i certainly wouldnt encourage a flame with a spark plug! that scoob u have 20w/ascooby is THE first turbo car EVER where iv seen the owner felt to put a spark plug in the exhaust to encourage larger flames, ive only ever seen it on other cars. If anyone has been to a big show sometime over last 5 years, where all cars are welcome, or if uve bin to USC at santapod over the years, ull remember one eyar on a flameout competition that my mates bright red astra won, they were bloody massive flames. but on a scooby??? naah

Well, mine pops nicely with a recirc DV although I do have a decat. Perhaps the VTA does help, but the decat is defo the way to go if you want this effect IMO.
I'm rather hoping mine doesn't flame lol
