No CAT = less restriction = more airflow = more power = boost? who cares?

Remember that the crucial thing is flow, not psi. Psi is a measure of restriction. Granted, for the same system volume, psi is a good way to look at increase in flow. But if you had headwork done, the flow would increase while the boost will decrease. This wouldn't mean though that you lose power.

HAHA ....Uh yes you can see lower Boost numbers with a better flowing exhaust but as stated above it just means you have a more efficient air pump . So ... the SC is connected to the exhaust in a sense .

yes, you will boost as a reading. no you won't lose power.

psi is a measurement of restriction.
