I have a non turbo 86 rx7, its lightly modded, the 10th ann accelerates about the same if not a little worse, when i took the 10th ann down the road it ran like an N/A until about 6000 rpm at which speed it was like i just completely let off the gas, the other stuff is what is on the 10th ann. I have no idea if its pushing any boost at all as the gauge is not hooked up, more inspection under the hood reveals what i believe to be quite a few vaccuum leaks, so im sure thats not helping things at all.

I just find it weird that the previous owner before the guy i got it from put a manual boost controller in it but claims to have kept it at stock boost, and installed an fcd.

I know its a cat, he told me so, he bought at and had it installed at a muffler shop. I have a RB presilencer, im going to replace the cat with that if it is clogged.
