Unless there was a sensor in the exhaust that regulates exhaust pressure and flow of some sort. Kinda doesn't make sense.Could you please elaborate a bit more.

cobramad Member 824 Member For: 19y 4m 23d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 14/12/11 08:20 AM Share Posted 14/12/11 08:20 AM The first O2 sensor looks at the exhaust gases and measures richness or lean-ness (Lambda) so cycles between 0v and 1v, about once per second. the post-catalyst 02 sensor also measures Lambda and its output is relatively steady in comparison to the first sensor ( .8 to.9v) If the reading from the second sensor fluctuates the PCM then thinks that the catalyst is not functioning correctly and flags a fault condition. I have seen rear sensors that cycle incorrectly and still flag a catalyst fault when there wasnt one. O2 sensors have to function in a harsh enviromnent and dont last forever. As the voltage they deliver is relatively small (less than 1v) its easy to see how one can cause incorrect codes to flag. There are much more clever forum members whose explanations may be clearer to understand so hopefully they can help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been around for a while but there's not much info floating around on them.Oh and how does a cat that flows 4 times better then the stock one produce the same emissions?

Overboost is completely understandable. The lower back pressure meaning higher flow which the turbo overcompensates for and might over boost 1-2 psi which is fine for the daily drive for a month or two until I get it tuned properly.
