Hey all
Went for a run in my gtr last nite, pulled into the servo and could hear an exhaust leak, so when i got home from work 2day i pull her out of the shed while cold and started it up. Started feeling all around the cat, than opened the bonnet and flet around the rear turbo and rear turbo dump pipe as that was all i could reach. but it didnt sound like it was coming from the engine bay, so i got a torch and started looking round under the car as much as i could before i put it up on my hoist. I wanted to find the leak and buy the gasket b4 i pushed my old mans project car off the hoist and screwed around lifting it up.
Prob is the leak was coming from this thing, never seen one before on a front pipe. But sayin that this is my first turbo car so i dont really no. It dosent have massive holes in it, but it has prob 2-3 3x3mm holes as far as i can see with the car on the ground. My question is what is it? is it like a front cat or somthing? Can i take my front pipe off and just get a pipe welded in there instead? or is there any other way to fix it?
thanks all
ps dont mind the red silicone, forgot to wipe it off, the other day when i put it on my gearbox oil plug after a oil change.
