Hi guys and gals!
I'm in bit of a pickle regarding my turbo conversion. I have fitted a 2.0 turbo from a 406 sri and have now being told that I need to fit a catalyst to the car or I'll blow the turbo seals! Is this correct? Can anyone help me?

Need a bit more information what engine year and model have you fitted the turbo too? Was the engine fitted with low compression pistons etc...
I don't see how fitting a catalyst will help but there may be some wierd quirk of the engine set up. Have you run the engine with the turbo? has the ECU been reprogrammed?

The engine is a standard unit with standard ecu and loom from a 1999 406 2.0 sri turbo. Still in process of plumbing it in to my 205, then heard this about the cat.
