Guest Evo TME Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 hey guys, due to my Bahrain's crap regulations i cant register an imported Supra with an upgraded turbo. Sadly i dont have the stock Twin Turbos which would solve the problem so here is my question....is there anyway i can temporarily remove my T76 turbo just for the sake of registering the car then put it back on without any tunning or major changes. I have heard a few ppl say that i can remove the turbo, have a custom made exhaust manifold fabricated to redirect the exhaust to the down pipe. is this possible??? or anybody has any other solutions?? is it safe?? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen G Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) i think the only thing you can do is put on the complete stock twin turbos with a decat pipe which should connect to your main exhaust system aslong a its not custom aswell. I take it as long as the car is running it would be enought to get it imported as some of the wiring and vacum pipes that control the sequential system probably has been removed when the single was fitted but aslong as you have the water and oil feeds to the standard turbos them you should be able to run them in true twin turbo mode if you have a boost controller and get your ecu maped temp for the car to run with them. Well i think that should work but some of the more experienced members might be able to suggest a better way Edited October 8, 2010 by Stephen G (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Sounds like he wants to take the single off, get the thing registered and put it back on again. Does it have to pass any emmissions tests out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen G Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 He sould be able to run with the twins the way i described as long as i was only to get it registered in the country but to pass emmission test could be a harder and might require a set of cats be fitted and depending on what sort of fuel and management system the car is runing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's asking if he can remove his single turbo and run the car without it by modifying the exhaust. I'm not sure but I'm guessing even if this is possible you'd need the ecu remapping.

Guest Evo TME Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 yea i dont have the stock twin turbos, i want to run the car without any turbo for at least a day to register it. the emissions wont be a problem cuz they dont really test that.

paul mac Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 you could get a piece fabricated from the manifold to the downpipe and stick an air filter on the plenum, seems a bit bizare but the car would run fine, it would hardly look stock though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 How do they know the turbo has been changed? Do they have someone check the engine bay? (Sorry I know it is a bit off topic, just curious) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
