Hey i was just wondering if i were to remove the catalytic converter if it would add any horse power? or what about getting a "Y" pipe before the cat. so i can still have the cat. but have it go straight out when i want to race?

Another good thing I tried for the first time at the weekend (slight topic change here) Toyota`s own brand injector cleaner. (as recommended and supplied by Ian Smith - anyone who knows him ... Ian is the GT-four Guru) Well it worked wonders...try some of that if performance is ****e, but it must be Toyotas own brand, I have tried others with nowhere near as good results as this stuff.

Also, try cleaning the filters, plugs dizzy cap etc

Ahh you frequent over here too Nial, I did think that getting rid of the cat would give increases but didn't want to start an arguement smile.gif
