Default Cats or not? Which is the best
Been told that running cats is best for feeding the turbos with back-pressure, which is better for more torque. Is that right, or itīs just common sense? Did anyone ever tested?

Default I agree, but they are probably worth 10+ hp. I am worried that the N75/ECU will not be able to
sufficently control boost w/o cats. Reason I say this is when I had a solenoid style electronic boost controller on my Eclipse, when I put the test pipe in the boost skyrocketed and I had to completely readjust the levels of the controller.

The spikes aren't that bad, and as DAP suggested, get an MBC if you're worried.
