Default weird problem after de cat

I have a my00 uk turbo which i fitted a ppp ecu and de cat down pipe and every thing was fine, yesterday i de catted the centre section and twice now when driving along when you put your foot down it revs up but car dosent pick up speed like it should, its feels a bit like the clutch is slipping, but im pretty possitive the clutch is fine, any ideas?

drive your car up to say 50mph. select 4th gear. give it full throttle and hold it as far as you want to take the revs. usualy the clutch will slip in 4th when its on its way out. do it a few times.

Unfortunatly it does sound like your clutch is on the way out. If not already left the building. Fitting a de-cat or changing anything else will not make the ECU give these symptoms.

Typical clutch lasts around 50,000 miles. Or depends how you drive.
