maybe at the same time you where not chasing low power issuesYes, Personally I noticed no real difference. That I could quantify. Others say how amazing the change was and that the earth moved for them....who knows.
Except it sounded better. ...........................

The readings on my nanocom showed no difference from historical data. Plus, as you have said not noticeable, anyway. 
Methinks that there might be a case of information overload here. I have the indicators originally installed by LR, and apart from knowing that the fuel gauge is actually the "fool gauge" and by the time the temperature gauge shows too hot the damage is already done, I don't have to worry about whether I'm getting too much or not enough boost or whether the engine is supplying 130 or 136 bhp. The car drives well and so far I haven't come across a hill that it cannot climb .... yet.I do not have any low power issues that I need to chase!...

I was agreeing with you I have had vehicles before decatting makes a big difference the reason being we become custom over time how our engines and vehicles perform ..a clogged CAT isn't an over night thingI do not have any low power issues that I need to chase!...

1psi in tuning terms when mixed with the correct amount of fuel, is actually quite a rise. But to see the benefits, you'd need a remap.
so I need a remap for a slightly blocked CAT ? ..I was born at night but it wasn't last night
Hahaha, I think you completely misunderstood what I just said.

I didn't say it was worth bothering over, but just deleting the cat won't give you a power increase. What it will do, is build intake pressure faster due to having less back pressure enabling a higher flowrate over the turbo's exhaust turbine.
Yes I know this.... I thought we were talking about the gains from a deleted cat...?
exactly
Depends on the fuel used, how well serviced the vehicle is etc. So if your engine is well maintained, likelihood is the engine isn't chucking too much crap into the catalytic converter, resulting in a good cat. Poorly maintained/driven vehicles will produce more smoke clogging the cat.

As for the EGR, eventually, they inevitibly clog the intake manifold. The main reason that people notice a significant gain from blanking the EGR is usually because the EGR is stuck in the open position. When the blank is installed, it's worth checking the inlet manifold for restrictions as the carbon build up can become soooo significant that it's like having clogged arteries.
As for deleting the cat, if it's blocked, then yes, you'll notice a significant difference in engine performance. How well do you breathe with a pillow shoved over your face?
The difference depends on how clogged the Cat is... do that test with undone downpipe and if you feel it much better de-cat it without remorse
If anything, the EGR is the only thing not blocking the cat up haha. But it has other detrimental effects instead which in my opinion are worse than clogging the cat.
But why should I rely on some el cheapo little dials on the dashboard?
I prefer to watch the road!
