OK, so I am working on this damn POS of mine and realize the previous owner removed the air pump, which is why I only had one water pump belt that I snapped Sat. @ 85 mph taching about 6800 rpm , and he left the cats on it.... now I am not in an emissions state so it being a turbo car and > backpressure = win is it alright to

1. go ahead and have the cats removed (assuming track only use )
2. I need to find a douple rib alt pulley so I can run twin belts on the water pump right?
3. If I was to go to a local guy I know and have the exhaust bent what size should I have him run? 2.75 or 3"?

yea if air pump removed cat gets no air will heat up like a bitch and prob ruined the core...anyway since your a t2 then def go 3 in piping preferably duals(RB). here in fredburg they dont even look under car so i get inspected every year w/o cat. if air p0ump removed make sure the po did it right(remove air muffler under pass headlight,block off with plate,etc). as for the double alt pully...try the yahoo belt trick..thats what i did and car runs fine....its one big belt that you wrap around all pulleys. cost like 4 bucks at the store. ill try to find the write up for you on this. hope i awnsered all questions

Thanks very much man, I will search for that belt trick as well. and check about all that crap where he removed the air pump...... I doubt is he done it right, he focked everything else he did up.
