Would gutting a cat convertor in a 2006 Petrol Turbo Volkswagen Jetta cause over boost similar to our turbo Fords? Trying to convince my father this is not the best way to fix a blocked cat lol Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85706-gutting-the-cat-in-a-vw-jetta/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so many alternatives to gutting a cat. If your worried about restriction then run two cats like allot of people. We all love hot cars, but it is all of our responsibility to look after what we live in.

I'll let you get back on your high horse now.
