  4. Yeah, if it's making you feel unwell, that's from the exhaust.

    Get it sorted as you could pass out at the wheel :fearful:

    I'd look at the decat you have.

    check where the decat mounts on to the turbo as the nuts can come loose
     
  6. i tried an Simple exhaust system test, by blocking the exhaust with a towel nothing happens and the engine is still on
     
  7. That shows that you have a leak, which has been said above.

    If not, the test you've done should stall the engine.

  8. Recently my petrol cap didn't close properly on my rs250 and the wee rubber cap didn't seal properly. Left a petrol smell in my car for 3 days until in topped her up again.

    Also, carbon canister full?

    Or, exhaust leàk post O2 sensor?
