im guessing you mean frst management as in the ecu
i've got a magnex 4" exhaust system on my xr2i atm, would that be ok?

alright mate decomp plate it to lower the compression of your engine as a turbo charged engine is a lower ratio thatn a na engine and you are prob best to get another exhaust as i doubt the downpipe from the turbo would mate with youer exhust and you will have an exra sileencer too i would imagine!!??
