ADD Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 where abouts do you fit the restrictor ring? is it on the first or second decat pipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 After the second decat, between the decat and the exhaust. Fitting it as far back as possible will keep the extra heat away from the turbos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 After the second decat, between the decat and the exhaust. can it be fitted after first decat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 can it be fitted after first decat? Yes,not a problem but fitting it as far back as possible will keep the extra heat away from the turbos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Yes,not a problem but fitting it as far back as possible will keep the extra heat away from the turbos. its just that my exhaust eliminates second cat - if i go for hybrids, do i need a restrictor ring?

Homer Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 But won't that also make it more likely to boost spike? The heat build up will be minimal, surely. Its still a 'straight through' system. Edit, sorry my reply was to Merckx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 where abouts do you fit the restrictor ring? is it on the first or second decat pipe? Makes no odds really. Merckx, Surely turbos don't have a problem with the small amount of extra heat alledgedly retained by a restrictor? I'm not convinced a restrictor causes any meaningful heat retension anyway, but that's a different arguement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what I read somewhere in a previous post, if you've got a choice of the two places to put it then putting it further back would be better.
