    u need a cat to pass an MOT and u cant run a cat with carbs as the fuelling isnt anywhere near accurate enough

    also since the engine is an ecotec, i imagine that it would be crazy emmisions since you can't use the egr, lambda, cat and so on.

    its doable to get the emissions close, but without the cat it wont be close enough. and granted cats dont mind being run rich but the cat would limit power anyway...

    mind you the TB people simly sack off the CAT until MOT time. but then you can control the fuelling nicely with them

    you ever noticed that the 3 cylinder engine and the 1.2 16v are just about the quietest engines ever made? i would have thought it would have been the oppisite since chain driven engine usually abit more noiser.
