I want some detailed photos of your carbi and vacuum hose setup so i can draw a diagram up for subby, and whoever else, on how to bypass the emissions and maximize fuel econ and throttle responce.

damm me :)
i bypassed the purge valve (vents fuel vapour into intake manifold) and EGR (i already had that disconnected) and my fuel economy is quite good. i get an extra ~30-50km on what i do atm. (i always use BP ultimate) - this prob leads me to belive my valve was stuffed and letting it in at incorrect times.
throttle response on my car is quite good anyway but this made it a tad better.
all up worth doing i mean i left the lines still there (plugged etc) so if need be i can put them back :badgrin:
the only emmisions related thing i would NOT TOUCH is the cat. little or no difference performace wise on a N/A car + the smell is rediculous. not worth doing.

yeah same here i think.... i fiddled with a few vacuum lines and added a bit of oil cos it was low... and i dunno whether it was the oil or not but it now sounds like one of those novetly sliding whistles when u rev it. heh
