I'm about to go turbo and I don't wanna run a stock cat... I've already put a free-flow cat on my car b4, but it threw a CEL... The code was for catalyst system I believe... Neways the whole time it was on the car, the CEL would not go off... So I took it off and put the stock cat back on...

When I go turbo, if I put another free-flow cat on there, will it hurt my car to run it with the CEL light on...? If so, what did everyone else do about this problem...? Also do you think it'll be fine with a stock cat...? As a last resort I would consider converting it to OBD1, but for people who have done this to their Teg, how do you pass inspection...?

Ne answers or opinions would be much appreciated... TIA...

 

Take the cat out and put in an o2 simulator. This will trick the ecu into thinking the cat is still functional.

 

Suhweet... How much does an O2 simulator cost...? Thanx again man...

Actually you can make your own simulator, I've done it for my car and no CEL for 4 months so far. Here's a link on how to do it. Good luck. PM me if you need any help.
