[@AdriftersLife]

Hej, wat power Parts of What parts do u recommend? How is the engine holding up? Many problemes? Nice video! I need a bit of advise thx

[@38yetisken]

I did the same . I couldnt solve the problem of the leakage. Is the gasket metal or some rubber ? Mine is metal and I feel the smeel inside due to leakage.

Love your vids man! Quick question if I may? Is it necessary to remove the turbo studs or did you jus do it for convenience?

[@THPTuning]

Good question! I think it might be possible, but in that case I suspect that the lower heat shield must be removed. So, yes, for convenience it was for sure.

@@THPTuning Thanks for your advice! 🙏🏻

[@majkirbs6536]

Probably not the question for this video. Is it possible that clogged up cat converter decrease power output and sounds like it has massive hole? I have forge mototsport air intake. I wonder, because cat is not cheap .

[@THPTuning]

if clogged up, it will give performance issues in the end for sure.

Nice video,the downpipe use a 200cpi sport Cat?any problems for "Mot/ITV" test?

[@THPTuning]

Yes, it is a sport downpipe with catalytic converter. No issues at all as the catalytic converter does is work properly. A straight downpipe (without catalytic converter) will always give issues during an annual check up. Depending on country regulations ofcourse.

[@santiredondo8229]

@@THPTuning Thanks for the info, could you please give some info about sports cat? serial number or brand?

[@heddiredissi8581]

how did you unscrew the bolts of the thermal cover of the catalyst before removing it completely

[@THPTuning]

the lower heat shield doesn't need to be removed. If you unscrew it a bit on one side you can lower the downpipe. A replacement downpipe can be fitted from the bottom. Check the detailed downpipe-change video to see where all screws are located.

[@twixmcraider2720]

So what downpipe do you install? it did not looks like the original :-)

[@THPTuning]

It is a sport downpipe with catalytic converter. Check the 'downpipe' playlist (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYTZm32obJmIn68) for more videos including changing the original downpipe, though the work is simply the same.

[@pataondrus]

Can I use 65mm downpipe wich is for N18? I have P308 with EP6CDT. Thanks

[@THPTuning]

Yes, they should be the same!

[@charlienicholaswxm4505]

I have the same car but the nut closest to the radiator I cannot remove I have no leverage you look like you have more room than I do was it only the heat shield you removed?

[@THPTuning]

Check the other videos of the downpipe changes. It should be an easy job if you follow the same steps.

[@andrewrumayar3103]

How does the car run without the pre-cat O2 sensor?

[@THPTuning]

Both O2 sensors are present

[@alanreid498]

Any idea where the Mass air flow sensor is on these engines?

[@THPTuning]

The 1.6THP 150, 156, 174bhp don't have a MAF, only MAP sensor.
