Ok, so the time has come for The VXT to be probed and scrutinised, in the form of a MOT. Bought my VXT full De Cat and so fully expecting the emissions to go off the chart, especially as I've heard the rules have got far far far more strict in the last month or so. If this does happen can anyone advise me on what I should go for as an alternative. Baring in mind of course that its a stage 4 VX Turbo? Any info on alternatives or recent MOT stories would be a great help!!

Do you have a friendly garage where you know the guy? Someone was telling me last week that they used to stick the probe up a different car... :ninja:
