Default Downpipe problems

Hi guys, I recently had my 94 type RA in for its MOT and it needed a new exhaust (turbo back) so I opted for a total decat. I now have it back but the power seems much more sluggish and the turbo is boosting alot later.
Surely the complete opposite should happen
Also its using alot more fuel

Can anybody help me out???

hi try reseting the ecu so it can learn itself again .because you have remove the cat the sensors in the exhaust will be reading total different so will be over fueling . when i fitted my decat i changed my ecu for a z5 and it made a hell of a difference to the way it went .if that doesn't fix the problem get the oxygen sensor checked and only replace with a geniune one . hope that helps a bit
