Message	I know I used to until I put some hi-flow cats back on. According to some dude at JWT, the design of the Garret turbos (and JWTs) need some backpressure at idle for the turbo seal, otherwise oil will slip past and cause the cars to smoke. ---------------------------------------------------------- 1990 Stage IV
