Power Loss & Overboosting
As some may recall last week i lost power and i was boosting for nothing well tonight i started hearing rattle noises in my exhaust and i floored it going 40 in 2nd gear i looked at the boost gauge at my lovely 15 pounds of boost which sudedenly jumped to 20 lol and the car bogged and stopped giving power after 5ks im assuming its a clogged cat...i tried a couple times and the same shyt...there's no vacum leaks i also noticed loss of power and a huge gas consumption....Any other thoughts....i got a recal for my cat a month ago im thinking go in for it


Lemme know what yall think

Im on a stage 2 and a gmpp exhaust for now

It's definitely the cat converter. Stop WOTing and go to the dealer.
