my friend has a uk spec but has had new turbos fitted.... but the 1st cat looks like a j spec? so ime wondering if j spec turbos have been fitted!!! how can i tell buy looking

Open them up and see if the blades are ceramic.. if they are it's UK, if not it's J-Spec

ime not that worried if it just means taking them appart! anyother way??

What?

The JDM supra has ceramic turbo's designed to be lighter and spool quicker, the metal, heavier blades were reserved for the export market. The exhaust manifold on a UK car has a recirculation feature not seen on the JDM car so the exhaust manifolds are different. I don't think you can physically swap the turbos without other changes.

if the first cat is jspec then the turbos are too.

the flange on the jspec first cat is a diffrent shape to the uks

The JDM supra has ceramic turbo's...

I just enjoy spouting wrong information... why would he listen to me? I've got an N/A?! :p

Sorry mate... :)

the 1st cat has the temp sensor hanging out the side of it with the wires cut......which i no j specs have so ime guessing its a j spec cat....
as for the EGR its all still attached to the inlet side with the metal pipe coming out to the head but cant see where it goes onto the exhaust manifold to recirc it??

Sounds like J-Spec turbos, turbo elbow and associated bits are fitted.
