    In theory you'd gain power if gasses were escaping early as there'd be bugger all restrictions. The lack of backpressure might affect something....not sure though.

    Probably not, as the turbo has taken most of the power-producing effects from the exhaust. Could be an MOT failure in the future though. Move to the "Mark 1 - Turbocharged models..." sub-forum and have a search and if you can't find the answer there post your question again.
