imi Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 doh!! What i meant was buy the turbo kit, then speak to the builder doing the conversion to discuss what turbos should fit that kit I would suggested the other way round - speaking to the tuner / builder before you buy anything (be it ECU or turbo kit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Doesn't need a cat. It's a '93 car. You say that, but in theory it does, as my friendly MOT place chooses not to do the high idle test to make sure it doesn't fail. Otherwise it would.

Gaz6002 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 learn something new everyday.... what year did this requirement come in? IIRC imports over 15 years old don't require a cat, but I'm checking this now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 learn something new everyday.... what year did this requirement come in? I've searched and can't find it, but this was certainly the car back when I had my MR2 turbo. They could well have changed things recently though. They do have a habit of doing that.

Robzki Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Had mine mot'd last week, He said that pre '95 don't need to do the cat test. He tried mine anyway and it failed miserably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 i thought all imports were not needed to do a cat test at mot's?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Mines a '98, what sort of CAT setup would be recommended? or should I just risk it for a biscuit and run no cats. Either a friendly MOT tester, or invest in a sports CAT, as they are available for around £300, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 from 91/92 onwards you need a CAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Cars sold for the UK market need cats from 93 onwards, Imports have to have them if they were built after 95, I had to look into this for my last MOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
