Ok what sort of difference would it make after chip?

It will help a little but no big gains.

Pretty sure TDI's don't need a cat at all, they just need to pass smoke test.

New mot regs mean a cat if fitted from new it must be working.

This is what my boogle is. I have a genuine downpipe with a hollowed out cat. You say the cat must be working but if it looks like a cat is there then should I need to worry?

Yeah im in samr bout gaz with mot in march, but from what ive read on new mot regs it says that if cat was fitted with a cat from new it must be present on mot.

Doesnt say anything about it having no insides with the age of our cars they only get smoke tested not emmisions tested.
