I have a AEM wideband sensor that i was trying to put on the car and thought i had to weld a bung onto it. When i got under the car i noticed that the de-cat pipe already had a bung on it. It looks like an autobahn88 pipe with a bung near the rear. Now i measured it and its not 36" away from the turbo outlet or whatever, its probably closer to 46". Do you guys think it will be okay?

Here is the pipe. the bung is near the back of the pipe towards the rear exhaust tip.

Unless I'm missing something....can't you just unbolt and reverse your decat pipe to move the bung closer? I guess you are pulling off the front pipes to check the front turbo seal for a leak anyway

yeah i guess you are right, i'm just not sure if it was reversalbe. Regarding the turbo leak, you think i have to remove the front pipes regardless? this is my first time ever diagnosing an turbo leak issue

Just make sure you that decat pipe is sealed well to the front pipe and you'll have no issues.

Just your reading during transient throttle might be a tiny bit delayed however if fed back to the ECU it's ignored anyway during transient events.

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
