E30 turbo Modification

[bonnacab]

Ive got a 318is Turbo on a 94 plate "E30"
It needs an exhaust, does anyone know whether or not it needs a cat box?
Has anyone had any past experiance or can give me any advice?

Engine or car. So you don't need one.

Scrap that, I don't think it is ratch? Are you english fella as I can't quite work out what you are saying with the frogmiester comment?

I also have a 94 touring with an M42 engine. I'd love to turbo it. What setup have you used?

[bonnacab]

It was turbo when i bought it about 4 years ago .It ran with standard ecu.chipped,recurculating dump valve .and intercooler.Turbo is a low pressure one,make and what car it came off not sure.Bhp was about 184.Because engine was high compression found out reason for blowing head gasket,valves,guides,rings after about 18 months.....After a head rebuild,new bottom end,decomp plate,turbo rebuild its back.it still needs a few things like stand alone ecu,new exhaust before i can try to get more power gains
