I agree to that a 16T can be made to be extremely quick. But the statement that a 19T isnt worth it on an auto I disagree. Remember the 19T was only ever fitted from factory on the V70R AWD Auto and not manual.

You should see some of the cars on the american forums (mostly autos) running serious turbo's and pulling 12 second quarter miles. Anything is possible, dont let the autobox restrict you, thats just my opinion.

the is a turbo for sale for you liam just what you need mate

**LiamT4** · Sunday 22nd May 2011, 22:35

19t is the smallest turbo i want, more concerned with top end power now not lag.
Not sure if they are that laggy anyway, as when i went in daves car, i know its 5pd but, his didn't seem laggy at all even in 4th it went well.

I have a ferreta <sp> race cat 100 cell fitted to an 06 S60 and it passed the emmissions no problem at all, infact comparing it to last years on a standard cat there was no difference at all.

You should be ok with the ferreta one, ont know about any other

**The Flying Moose** · Monday 23rd May 2011, 13:23

Going back to the CAT issue Liam, I agree with Wegal you should be fine with a 100 cell cat. I have seen quite a few pass the emitions tests legitimately with no cat whatsoever.

**deathrider311271** · Monday 23rd May 2011, 13:44

i have a 100cel cat in mine and its fine, just make sure your lambdas are in good order as well as all you other intake components. My reading was actually lower than last year with a standard cat in place

Cheers guys regarding the cat, i hope to get to custom chrome on friday and i'll be having a chat about my options.

I know a local bmw independent who say they'll put it on their emmisions machine to see what its doing. So if there are any issues it'll be spotted before the mot, which aint untill next year anyway.

Liam should know LOL, he was standing right by us at the Cov meet just after Christmas whilst Adam was playing with the TT on his V70 with his laptop in the engine bay.

Indeed he was! Too pre-occupied looking at the superior 850's obviously

Mmm I was certain when Duane said Richard could have the bolt he was going to produce a diesel generator and an angle grinder from the boot of Bonny.

Seems even Duane knows how to use a spanner.

Im still completely phased as to how the top mount bolt fell out, it could only be that it wasnt tightened properly in the first place.

<cough> Ford <cough>

LOL, Duane, always wanting to do it a different way. Next time we see him it'll be " Hey Duane, what the bloody hell you going to do with that rocket launcher?"
