ok i took my car to the dealership the other day cause my car is boosting way to high like i drive normal and it is fine no biggie but if i get on the throttle hard the boost will shoot up to 18/19/20lbs and the car is not going faster feels like its being held back.... now the dealership told me a few things one i have a MAF code and i have a clogged cat which i fig that one cause my car sounds alot quieter but i dunno if those will cause anything like that then they told me that it might be a wastegate actuater (don't know how to spell). any one help plse dont wanna buy a part if its not the problem know what i mean..

 

Clogged cat would be my first choice, of what is wrong, I have see that many times, and everything follow through as being that...

 

so u think the cat could cause the boost to rise that high thats what i thought too i hope thats what it is so its not an uncommon prob then

 

No a few others have had that happen... Lack of power, and high boost is the 2 things that state it should be a clogged cat.

 

its the cat..... it will be warrenty, or you can just get aftermarket highflow..... I have clogged 3 so far, so i just made myself a 2.5 inch catless stainless downpipe.... problem solved

 

really and it gave u that prob with high boost and it feeling really slugish cool man you guys saved me like 200bucks

 

no high boost... car ran like **** the second time, the first time the cat blew out the exhaust, and the car wouldnt run because it busted the 02 sensor.....

what cat you running now?

 

stock one haha(yea i know)

 

just have them warranty it.... if it stays clogged for long, it will end up blowing the flex pipe at the top of the downpipe.... then your car will sound like *******.... lol, when you get the new one, just save it, and put on a catless.....

you live somewhere cold?

 

hell nah san antonio but ive been runnin stage 2 for like 30,000 miles on the same cat so maybe thats y
