save yourself a huge fine and damage to your car and fit a cat.

ALOT! , But i bashed out my cat :P hhehe

Most things I've seen say you actaully loose horespower doing that. De-cat pipe> high flow cat> regular cat> gutted cat when horspower is the determining factor.

fine in SA is a max of 10k. but they can only test you if you go for an inspection. the cops cant look under and assume because they cant see it then it's not there.

only EPA can fine you and they must perform emissions testing to prove.

plus if ur silly enough to go for an inspection without a cat then u deserve a fine...

Yet in NSW the EPA does random road side inspections...

And they will slap you with a 10K fine in NSW if found on the road like it.

some cannons have materials in there for sound dampening etc, if its getting too hot, then they could catch fire and this could be the ashes you see.

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
