Default S4 B5 with or without catalyc converter

What is better for engine.... i have only two o2 sensors (lambda) and two EGTs.
Model 99 before facelift.


the engine can function properly without a catalyst? Or it is very bad for engine. Without modification of ecu.

please help...

If you have no post converter oxygen sensors, I would remove them. The less restriction on a turbo motor, the better.

Yeah, if there isnt any 02 sensors behind the cats, I would remove them. Less restriction, less heat, more power!
