New DP on, small weirdness

[A//// Guy]

I believe that "ground strap" that you guys talk about is just a brace to your block so your exhuast isnt just hanging on your turbine housing. It should fit on a stock exhuast as it is designed for it... It wont fit around bigger diameter DP's though.

134 bux for turbo to cat ( full DP). All if the downpipes i saw Didnt have good flex pipe. that was my previous issue. and knowing that its a bitch to get the bolts off exhuast, i didnt really want to hastle with all that another time just so i can save some money. I didnt pay for it so i dont really care lol. But yes it was new. The strap bolts onto the metal housing around the stock exhaust, but i didnt put that back on so i guess i dont have a choice to put the strap back on or not. Also, it would cost at least 25 bux to get a new flange for FWD from AWD to the cat.. so after buying your DP peter, ida spent the same amount of money if not more.

I dont care about this car. Im leaving it stock. Im almost through the bumps n curves of my first swap. I need a block off plate for the idle ( bad sensor), caliper for the right rear ( anyone got a working one for a 90 feb??), and i need to decide why im losing so much oil. the exhaust really doesnt have a color, greyish maybe? But im losing like 1 quart every 200-300 miles. I have a small minor leak on the oil line but thats nothing close to what im losing ( unless more comes out when driving then idle or off). Ideas?
