And both cars where using the HKS drop in airfilter, I think the damage was so big because of the combination of the catalyzer malfunction, low quality and the forced induction.
You see similar damages to Diesel engines when particle filter is blocked, the higher pressure causes often an turbo damage which often damages the engine when it’s late recognized.
Also both HKS SC Kits worked fine with ft86speedfactory catted UEL header. The engine of my friend was a fully build HKS 2.1 stroker engine and both supercharger kit have been installed by a professional company, so it was not an dyi.

Are you putting now back the ft86speedfactory catted header ?
