The cat would be the first thing I’d take out. I don’t see how removing that will cause burnt valves and bottom end issues.

The fact that your car runs rich from the factory does not mean the stock injectors will flow enough for 25psi. Do you even know what cc your injectors are? I don’t, so it is possible they could flow enough for that boost level.

Im reading what PEOPLE do to their cars, not Sport Compact car and Import Tuner. EvoXforums has an abundance of information. Taking the cat out screws with the A/F parameters, with or without the AMS CEL delete, thus the NEED for a retune/reflash.

However, it can be boosted safely to 25 psi as long as there is more air in and out. I’ve been reading and reading and reading. I’m doing this right guys.

This car is going to simultaneously rust to shit and explode mechanically in the OP’s hands.
