  Not sure, if so it wasn't a huge amount. The outlet of the catalyst is the
bottleneck in the system now, I think. The turbo does seem to spool up a
little quicker after, though it could be the placebo effect.
 The nice thing about the SS system is that after a few winters, it still
looks brand-new. That Borla muffler literally shines, and I have not touched
it since I put it on.

 Tell Dad to get off his duff and CHIP IT!  Whole 'nuther car.....  :-))

  I think it probably was me that recommended them, yeah.

 Someone else has supplied Kerma's website address, but they are nozzles
that are FAR better than new Bosch. Think blueprinted, for a rough
approximation, but better.
 Make sure you send them to Greg Landyutg (spelling?) to be set up on your
injectors. He's like the only person around that has the special equipment
needed to accurately set up the pilot injection part of the nozzles. I can
get you his address if you need it.
