Which Cat will withstand ALS?
Hi
I got an Ecuteck programmed ALS on my Scooby and need to fit some Cats for registration.
What kind of Cat or which model will work best with this without having to replace the Cat every few months?
Thanks

Well I would prefer having one Cat on the car since I will probably get stopped a lot by the police.
The ALS is switchable and I will probably only need it on track or for races.

Slung under the car in the middle position would be preferable.
If you're loath to remove it, fit it as far back as possible. Though on the road it's likely it'll never get hot enough to work properly.

Most ALS are switchable, mine gets very hot in a short space of time, the cat would not last long at all. Comes in handy for drying out the heat wrap quickly

As far as I know I have two different maps on the ECU through Ecutek. One is with and one without ALS.
I think it works somehow with extra fuel which keeps the pressure up on the turbo.
So for the cat is a ceramic or a metallic better?

I know they have been doing anti-lag with Ecutek remaps on Evos for a while, but didn't realise that they offered the service with the Impreza, who is mapping the car?
Just a thought, have you checked out whether there would be any detrimental effects of anti-lag on the IHI turbo, as you know, IHIs are 'rumoured' to be a bit fragile compared to their Garrett and Mitsi equivalents.

So far no problems.
I heard of the extra wear on the turbo.
I will use ALS only for track and even there only on special ones.
I am located in Switzerland and the maps where not done here, so I guess it will be no use for you guys.
