lads as above im havin a bit of bother trying to get it to line up,has anyone else had trouble?whats the best way to approach fitting it?i have tightened up the turbo side but the brace doesnt really line up and the exhaust side seems to be out slightly.now im not argueing about the build quality because it looks tops so any tips would be great.

thanks adam

Make sure that when you're fitting it, that you get every bolt on its threads, before you tighten any of them up.

Ie. Put the ones on the turbo in two turns, then you'll be able to wiggle it about and get the ones on the brace and the front pipe in, hopefully.

Then tighten them all up together :)

what i did was bore out the threads on the exhaust side of the de-cat so that i could slide bolts through making them alot easier to line up, when i got all the bolts in then i tightened them up. after that had a little problem getting the bolts into the brace bit, but it did go. good luck, careful not to round the bolts on the turbo as theyve gotta be quite tight
