I have an APS Turbo-back with cat and I did throw a CEL (low cat efficiency) once when I was cruising in fith for a long time, because the ECU was trying to finetune mix for best fuel economy using the second O2 sensor.

However, I got COBB AcessECU stage 2 re-flash and I have not gotten any CELs since.

Sorry to hear that! Boost creep is usually caused by the turbine exhaust path being less restrictive than the waste gate. The gas will always take the path of least resistance, and in your case the path of least resistance is through the turbo even with the waste gate open.

Since I have the Gen-I WRX APS 3" taper to 2.5" at the muffler exhaust with the cast iron "big mouth" collector (no divorced waste gate dump) I have no boost creep! 15.4 psi max boost! No more, no less!

I like APS! Good fit and finish, great sound (not too loud), a cat, and increased flow!
