  1. Nah nothing yet dude :( a couple of people have said they have seen his car parked up there.. It's just a long way for me to go to find out I can't find him! :/

    Was it definitely his car? As there's a few people up that way with starlets..

    Ill wait for the right time and ill be going up there!

    dundee isnt that far from glasgow or edinburgh mate, its about an hour from the forth road bridge.

  2. gnome, take the advice of many owners who have experienced these cars.

    The wastegate on a stock CT9 is rather useless.

    The best way to stop it is run a small diameter de-cat. something like 2.25" would help, keep your OEM filter piping and also get a good quality actuator. This will help, but again, it doesn't solve the problems being the turbo wastegate. The only true way to solve it is replace the turbo or weld up the wastegate and then retro fit an external wastegate to control things.

    Im not asking what boost creep is i know what it is, i was just asking if anyone had run a screamer or a decat with roughy the same mods as me, the reason im asking is because i know the ct9s wastegates are small and i want to know if it will defo make me hit fuel cut? Because ive read alot of people on here say a decat will make it over boost and hit fuel cut. Im pretty new to the starlet scene so i thought id ask on here, but tbh im just gonna buy a decat fire it on and see what happens, i get no boost creep whatsoever with my filter and fmic so i doubt a decat will make me

    Hit fuel cut, ive asked a few local people with close to standard starlets with exhausts and decats and they dont hit fuel cut so i dont see why mines will but hey ho im just a newbie

  3. i know what boost creep is and what causes it on turbo'd cars, im just new to starlets. I take it as soon as u decat a starlet the boost will creep dramatically and it will hit fuel cut? my mates starlets fine and he runs a blitz nur spec exhaust system with a j performance decat

  4. it shouldnt cause mega boost creep though? i asked zisco performance the question and this is what they said :

    "No it will be absolutely fine running a screamer pipe on CT9 turbo. In fact we only sell screamer pipes for CT9 turbos as they go very well with them. The brace will bolt onto the same points where the stock cat was.

    The sound it makes when the car is on boost is great".

  5. getting my exhaust made up on friday and was gonna buy a zisco screamer de-cat too, my car just runs a standard ct9 with a fmic and a cone filter, what problems could i run into with having a screamer fitted? or would it be fine? cant be arsed with hitting fuel cut.
