    could be that this is related to your loss of boost issue... but that's just me speculating..

    won't a decat will fail an mot though, you could do a 200 or a 100cpi sportcat as a replacement but if you do that you want it on a 3" downpipe, not a cheap job, prices up to £500. Try that cataclean clean stuff though, a few guys on here swear by it.. I wonder if that new sensor you had fitted is no good, genuine replacements are not cheap to buy so many places used various other aftermarket ones, i tried one in position one (above the cat) and it was so bad
