Your factors intercooler pipes might burst too with the extra boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also your speedo might be slightly out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a noobe to this site and there has been some great information on upgrades for my 04 xr6t. On Thursday/Friday I got a CAI and VCM tune from a local tuner and he took it for a run on Thursday and went great but on Friday he took the CAT out of it then didnt take it for another run. When I finishd work (wife had picked up car) I took it for a run and its cutting out at 4500rpm in every gear(auto). Should he have tuned after the CAT was taken out?. (it will be going back next week). Any info would help Cheers Martin. Also will it do any damage if I keep driving it??

You can drive it bit try to keep it off boost.You will most definitely need a re tune without a cat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
