Limp Mode?

I don't know what the story is with Riss Racing O2 sim, but i heard the car has lag or goes into limp mode with a catless dp. Can anyone explain this to me. I have a RR catless DP that i never installed because i was waiting for the O2 sim chip and because i heard of lag or limp mode but have not found any actually info. on it.
Any feed back on the O2 sim would help too.

You'll get a CEL (check engine light) but no limp mode. You can run with a catless DP, no need for the O2 sim, as it doesn't actually work anyways. People have tried numerous solutions with little success.

limp mode is the cars way of protecting itself.. prevents it from doing any major damage. So you will get major power loss
