One quick question

Im having a fairly high idle and turbo isnt kicking in hard at all (full boost but no go)

Would having old, hard, and possibly cracked hoses going to the ACV have any effect to the way it boosts or idles?

Would a clogged precat cause any of those symptoms as well?

Thanks

yes, yes, and yes.

Does the car have difficulty reving post 6500 rpms? How many miles are on the stock cats? Do you have a downpipe installed which replaces the 1st cat?

Im guessing it is getting full boost because the stock gauge is pegged. But the car just isnt going anywhere fast.

No I still have the stock precat! And yes, it will not rev past 6500! I guess I will get both cats cut off and put a cheap glasspack in as a presilencer.

And get some some new vacuum lines, and sometime maybe some block off plates.

Thanks!

Yea that definately sounds like some clogged cats to me. You lose ALOT of power from those cats. Do yourself a favor and get rid of both of them if you dont have any emissions in your area.
