Today I got the car from the exhaust shop.
:D
Full 2 1/2 exhaust from the turbo flange ( downpipe, mid resonator, cat, and rear muffler).
It ran my 830 euro total.
If you remember, I was running the gtr engine with a 1.75 inch exhaust and the stock cat from the 1.6 for almost a year now.
I was running at 8 psi max and now I can hit 12.5 psi on high rpm due to the beloved boost creep.

I installed the wideband lambda sensor that I got 2 weeks ago and the pressure sensor. I could not find a bung for the EGT probe ( it was 1/8 NPT) so I'm going to search to the local performance stores to see if it can be fitted to a bung from another egt probe.
During the removal of the stock system a bolt on the stock downpipe ****ed us for a couple of hours. We had to remove the radiator to have access to the bolt (which meant we had to remove the pipe that comes off the turbo to the i/c)
The we had to unbolt a cooling line, and at the end it was damn hard to unbolt it...
We also removed the manifold heat shield and found a crack on it :S but I was told that it may not cause a problem.
So here are the pics. :D

Back muffler installed.

The wbo2 sensor installed after the spiral and before the cat.
I'll see if I can take a video of the car to upload it.
It surely hauls ass now...
