You could be right, but like I said, these ecu cals are super sophisticated, and too much boost too soon wouldn't be too far outta line to assume the ecu wouldn't like that, but then again who knows. What I do know is that when you can cut down allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the forests being cut down for more cow farms which produce far more atmosphere destroying gasses, and gigantic companies paying politicians to keep the "fines" down for dumping thousands of gallons of waste into lakes, streams and oceans, THEN I'll begin to worry about one of my cats being removed...
And as far as only gaining a tenth from removing a cat on a forced induction vehicle, you're not really on target. In my years of constantly screwing with forced induction cars, I've gained a lot more than a tenth by doing that mod. Not only is it more overall hp, but it comes on quicker too. No comparison.

The time goes by, but it seems peoples are starting to crack the shell of the RC proc.

Here, I found a german specialist, making 300 hp and more than 400 Nm of torque out of the 200t. Looks interesting. I'm sure the 200t would be a beast with that power output.
