Wanted Turbo catalyst

[amazontommy]

Anyone who has a catalyst for a -88 turbo laying around?
Mines puffing white smoke and make the car stall at 60km/h.

I am not familiar with the UK regulations about catalysts, but in The Netherlands you can safely replace the catalyst with a pipe if your car is from 1988.
Also: are you sure it is the catalytic converter? White smoke usually points to head gasket failure...

UK regs are CAT reqd from 'K' plate so around 1992 approx so OK on a 1988 version.

white smoke is generally 'not good' water within system

It's sticky smelling Smoke like unburnt fuel due to a fuel system cleaning aditive from hell
Yes, I can replace it with a tube but where goes the lambda sensor?

[Alan 480]

on the two litre versions it's screwed into the down pipe,

If on the 'CAT' then you could get a lambda sensor boss welded onto a straight section if you needed to?

Ok, I will try to disconnect the cat to see if the white smoke disapears. If it does I got myself a nice welding job on the weekend
