Question

Help, i've just had fitted a magnex cat free system from the turbo back. When accelerating hard in any gear i get a sudden hesitation as though someone has thrown an anchor. i never had this trouble before the front pipe was changed and the air filter is still the standard one, any ideas?
cheers

Exclamation


Going by what others have described on this board, sounds like you have hit over boost and the ECU is cutting the boost. Looks like you're heading for the infamous restrictors now.

I stand to be corrected, but I think I'm in the ballpark.

Sith could be right and you might need a remap. However, changing your front pipe coud just have coincedently coincided with your wastegate solonoid getting clogged up.
