Also, aaron offered to sell me his old cat for $80 as opposed to ford who wanted $1700 for a new one. Into the mechanics on tuesday. gleeeee

So what do they say is wrong with the car mate? unfortunately my car might be suffering from the same plight that you've described, as the symtpoms seem very familiar. Would love to know what I might be up against.

Thanx

The cat apparently has collapsed or something along that line. :(

it was slightly damaged in an accident a I had a while ago looks like it come to bite me on bum

The same thing happened to me today, I took off from an intersection and booted it expecting it to change gears but I must have knocked it into first without realising. As the revs hit 6000 I manually changed to 2nd and there was a backfire sounding pop noise. A few minutes later and I have no boost at all (maybe half a PSI on the boost gauge). I've checked all the pipes and they're on tight so I'm guessing its either the wastegate or maybe a collapsed cat like you've had. The cat is only 6 months old though so I'll be spewing if it's that.

Anyone got any other suggestions ?
