Ok so the whole story is I got ottp stage 1 bout a year ago. also added vibrant header and high flow magnaflow cat with a 2.5 mandrel bent cat back with 18"resonator and magnaflow muffler. I went with canned tune from ottp for a while and then I added meth inj. and had zach do a custom tune on it. within a couple weeks of the meth and the tune I starting collecting black soot on my rear bumper near the exhaust. shortly after than i got a cel 0420 i believe that comes up cat problem. well now at 2500 rpms on level ground in 5the gear my vaccum is about 8 to 10 negative. my boost often hits 18 or 18.5 in wot.

 

clogged cat caused by overly rich tune

 

should've taken your crowbar and beat zach over the head with it instead of your cat

 

so what are my best options at this point with a very small budget? I'd like to rememdy all those problems...

 

trifecta

 

Replace the cat and get a new tune. Probably look at a few hundred $$$ all together.

First things first. Have the cat. removed or have it replaced. I recommend replacing it. Catless sounds horrible on these supercharged cars.

Then talk to trifecta about a custom tune. They seem to be the cheapest professional tuners and are pretty reliable from what I've read. Perhaps you can find an independent tuner locally (besides zach) that can give you a spot on tune.

 

new tune... go from there... that would be the best thing to do...

 

Just gut the bitch, and retune....make as much power as you can get You won't care what it sounds like when you are going fast and winning.

 

lmaorotf true

 

You will care what it sounds like, no matter what. I thought I could live with it but it literally gets unbearable. I had a cat welded in about a month ago.
