On the contrary, if you have a bad CAT or a Clogged CAT, your PSI/boost prossure will go back up...

So if you have a 17% pulley and getting 17+ PSI pressure, have your mechanic check for a clogged CAT.

I read about 1.1-1.15 BAR on my boost gauge at WOT ... That's about 16-16.6 PSI or so. I took the cat out when I welded it to the OBX flange and it looked pretty clean. I haven't gotten a P0108 code in a long while, but I do get it on occasion.

I have a few questions about the FA Lite myself, so I'll send you a private message.

just an update , i blew pistons now , #1 and #2 pistone are dead. u hear me .. DEAD

!! told u son.. never get to that train

anyway i bought 2 pistons , valve seals and gaskets, gear oil (landrover mtf 94) and engine oil ( castrol edge ) and 4 intake valves, and new head cylinder since the old one has bend my intake valves from inside and it cannot be repaired and i have to replace it.. send to to garage to fix the stuff now.. it will cost me fortune but am like waiting for the car get ready then il pay when i see the car perfect, till then am considering to promote my body as sex slave so i can cover it up.
