   Help pepole!!!!!!! Right my question is will the standard cat and manifold go back on my mk 2 vtr with the oil filter relocated to the bottom like the mk1 vtr's because i have looked at a renault 5 GTT oil filter and wondered wether it will fit without having to change back to the standard oil filter setup. I have looked on a search but not found anything conclusive my car failed the MOT today on the emmisions it has a 4-1 manifold on with a mk1 vtr magnex system on so i took the decat pipe off and put a m1 vts cat on and it still failed on emmisions but it was blowing where the cat joins the centre section so maybe this is affecting it i am going to seal it up and try again any help is gladly received

   The oil filter might fit but I wouldn`t fit it because its not designed for a saxo & the oil pressure might be wrong leading to a blown engine.
