Why do de-catted turbo cars smoke?
Discussion
What difference does the turbo make apart from its oil seals?
What difference does a decat make apart from reduce restriction?
So what did older turbo cars do that wasnt fitted with a cat in the first place?
Cant see it myself, if your car is smoking there is an underlying problem somewhere.

Is it something to do with the CAT reacting off some of the oxygen left by running a bit lean when it's closed loop? (low load/throttle/rpm)
If you take off the cat then the engine is running lean with excess oxygen which the cat won't convert, which might end up reacting with something else making it smokey?
