gutted, sti 7 not had her long, added a de-catt,panel filter.

wound the boost up to 1.3 using the F/C as a guide, went for a blat, on motorway, came off when i slowed down, a horrible rattling and loss of power, pulled over clouds of blue/white smoke from back. Has it blown? been fine until this cold snap, would this have done her in? the weather?

I'm gutted that your car's gone bang and genuinely hope you get it sorted under warranty. They obviously know about the decat as that's not the sort of thing they'll miss

Cheers,
Nick.
