Hey guys, hypothetical question -
If my cat was getting clogged or restricted, could the exhaust pressure from going WOT cause it to leak through the turbo / DP gasket when it otherwise wouldn't?

Thanks Nick...
Car is still out front of my house. We were doing a "curious" compression test on his motor and he loud clicks. Pulled the cover back off and Nick suggested it was the timing chain guide. So i pulled the tensioner to see if it was working and it puked its insides out. So he needs a new one. It was 530 when this happened so the dealer was closed....

I think it was the perfect part to break when you showed it to me ... Looked like something out of a movie as the springs dangles there bouncing around.... lol
Pretty sure that tensioner was on it's way out, that or whomever ported the head left some metal shavings on the insides for me...
