How exactly did that happen??

 

[spoolinmp3]

Turbos make lotsa pressure and are known to destroy cats because of the increased flow and higher temp levels

Its sad to see you leave the turbo brotherhood
I kinda wanted to see your setup in person

Yeah I will still be there man we will see how the turbo monster compares to the NA Beast on the twisty's by that time i shoudl ahve my DIS-2 in and a S-AFC so I will be pushing a 8 grand redline. I'm getting custom valve springs made as we speak to handle the higher RPM.

Man your not exactly making me feel confident in my decision to get a turbo here.

 

[Kooldino]

Doh, does anyone make a high flow cat?

 

[chdesign]

nobody makes a stock replacement high flo cat for the protege. Due to EPA I doubt we will see one soon either. Just get one from Catco of Random and get it welded in.

Yeah I was supposed to go there a certain week(toyomoto) A while back and ended up going another time. I usually go to the bird road hangout (La Carretta) on thursdays and hangout with the toyomoto guys. I will try to make it up to towershops in ft lauderdale on fridays and hangout with redwagon02 (My bad days off are wed and thurs) Anyways if you wanna meet up any of those days let me know.
