PS2 Question

Hi everyone, I have a thought that has been bugging me. Can you use an aftermarket stock sized downpipe on a PS2 turbo, or does that turbo require a whole different sized downpipe? I'm assuming no because it's just a stock turbo that is machined out for a compressor and exhaust wheel. I saw that Kies Motorsports uses a catted downpipe on his and that's what I'm going to be going for, except using a Fabspeed cat.

PS2 uses the same connection as the stock turbo/DP, cat or catless.

You are correct. And the Fabspeed HJS catted downpipe is definitely your best choice. I'd highly recommend the Turbosmart BOV at the same time with the Pure Inlet Pipe. Included some photos that may be helpful

What HPFP are you considering?

This will be a slow-moving process, I enjoy the build process. The HPFP I will be getting is Dorch. I don't like how XDI has you crimp wires.

I think an HJS cat is the only way to go in my opinion.
