[Mk2] [Turbo] when cat fails? and u can't get replacement part?

Hi,
So when you 90s MR2 Turbo cat fails, and you need it to pass emissions
what do you do?

I would be prepared to get a new one from Toyota but they aren't available?
Has anyone had success with alternatives?

After quite a few years I fitted a ST205 Chargecooler and wasn't happy with the HKS BOV fitment. So I got the original BPV and tested it as per the BGB. I found ...

Yep, mine are gapped at 0.8.
I use the iridium variant bkr7eix or something like that.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] i should have listened to the forum advice....

My Whinebro is loud too. Going to swap it for that Supra/Denso pump that's a direct replacement. Does anyone have AEM 320lph fuel pump, its meant to be as quiet as stock, or at least quieter than walbro? Do u have a link handy to online stockist of the Denso direct replacement Fuel pump? Thanks, Tony
