If you have a standard turbo then the de-cat will quicken the rate that the oil seals deteriorate, if the seal are on the way out then I would give you 3 months before the smoke becomes embarrassing. Also I’m not convinced that the decat will produce a noticeable difference to performance. I ran without, then with one and could not tell the difference, apart from the noise

I've been running with no cat for months and it is fine (touch wood) Mine is a 16VT so has a T3 turbo - don't kn ow if this makes a difference. If it blows the seals good excuse for a hybrid Cheers

I recently had a custom exhaust made and the guys that did it where going to do a full system but I told them about what I'd read on here like the oil seals etc and they agreed. Only decat with a bigger turbo. That Simple.

im running for more than a month with a De-cat, no problems up to now, but i notice a lot of back fire from the exhaust, after a hard drive (i hope this is normal!! ) by the way, i love the increase in the performance and the lovely sound too

mine smoked about 3 months after fitting the cat... hybrid is fine so far, touch wood... agree not sure what power benefit it has, but sounds sweet

Just out of interest and kinda related but when the seals on a turbo start to go do you get smoke on boost, off boost or just all the time? I feel a project comming on.
Ex 20v (great car) Ex 20vt (RIP) Ex 20vt+ Now another 20vt+
