Jim_1979 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I have a Jspec TT which the previous owner said had UK spec turbos fitted. He was a member on here and I have no reason to doubt him, I just want to make sure. I noticed yesterday while doing an oil change that the car still has the first cat fitted and I'm looking to fully decat. 2nd cat is already off the car etc and the car is fully BPU with the exception of the first cat still there. Anyway.... cheers for the help. Oh, where's best place to pick up a 1st decat pipe if it is UK spec? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex C Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Have a run against a car with J-specs. If you pull out a decent lead then you have the superior UK turbo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Have a run against a car with J-specs. If you pull out a decent lead then you have the superior UK turbo's You've got that a bit back to front m8 If you decat and it doesn't overboost, they're UK specs (larger wastegate). Boost gauge required obviously!!! Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 I'm sure it is UK turbos as like I said, previous owner was a member who I've met twice and there's no real reason for him to say so. So..... Jamesmark, you have PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boost gauge required obviously!!! Cheers, Brian. I'm running BPU apart from the fact that the first cat is still there. So... see if I overboost or not. lol. That the easiest way?

Homer Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 There's a few ways to check, but it's difficult to explain in text Who was the previous owner, might be able to do a bit of digging in the archives... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 templewaters was his name. He got UK suspension and UK turbos fitted from a low mileage car that a garage he used had in. Supposedly 2 chaps run the garage who know alot about Supras (well known?). He's from Hull. One called Andy maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Applying a magnet to the blades is one way, if it sticks then they are more than likely UK's or Hybrids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to get to the point of taking stuff off so I can see the blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
