Quick question. I had just replaced a turbo that had blown. when I looked inside my downpipe, I found the precat was covered in oil, and of course the exhaust and turbo had oil in them. So, with the new turbos in. Do I run the risk of damaging them if I dont replace the downpipe or will they be fine.

 

not really, but go ahead and gut that precat, youll gain like 10-15 hp..

 

plus 1

Gut those things. Turbos do not like pre-cats.
