Squeal after cat change

Hey,
I’ve had the cat changed due to old one rattling. Picked up car today and don’t know if it’s placebo but seems to boost abit better, however it almost seems like it squeals abit now which increases under acceleration.
Anyone any ideas? I don’t like taking the car back if alls okay but on the same point I don’t want to get to an MOT in 9 months and find

Good to hear you mk1 is running well, I'#039m still having the mapping fine tuned. I still not driven mine yet but it is pretty much together.
Look foward to your progress, I'#039m starting on my inner arches and suspension later this month.
Cheers mate, aye

Hi!
Hopefully you can help me identify what is wrong here. My car is a manual Edition 30 running stage 2. With upgraded clutch Sachs performance and dual mass flywheel, car has only around 50k miles.
I have fully bleed and flush the brake fluid several times in the most careful way possible, added Motul RBF 600 DOT4, the one I got recommended to use on track.

To be honest I think I did good job on repair in rubber sleeve. Connected all the wires by the wiring diagram, checked after each connection. Continuity test and measured voltage between connector in C pillar and each pin on connector to latch, release button, etc. Shows voltage when boot latch is closed on pin 4 of boot latch, other pin 1 and 2 shows voltage the whole time.

Posting this here in case anyone else comes across it in the future.
GTI, GTD and Jetta share the same front mount, standard golfs use a different one. To get the bumper to fit perfectly without cutting anything, you need the correct radiator mount. The same crush bumper fits both but you need the correct size X plate to be able to bolt it to the hood latch area.

Took car to a local guy Glenside motor company (15 mins away) to get the swirl flaps and stage 1 map done, did it via OBD with CMD Flash, didn'#039t need to remove the ECU to bench it which is a bonus.Before mapping he put the factory original file on the car, checked for any errors then mapped the car with the 3 swirl flap codes deleted and motor disconnected.
I think he said he

Sachs used to be the old supplier for VW back in the mk5 era but now they are using Monroe. I have not had any experience with Sachs myself but I'#039ve recently fitted Monroe all around my old car. I'#039ve had KYB previously and the shocks might as have been welded stiff. If you want comfort, stay away from those. My other car on Bilstein b4 sport, Eibach pro-kit and 18"quot wheels was mo
Steering lock gone? What do I need...

Hi guys,
Bit of a weird one - without any prior warning or indication, the steering lock on my 2007 1.6 FSi on Saturday suddenly stopped working. I'#039d opened the car up in the morning (current UK heatwave) and when I went to lock her up in the PM I noticed I couldn'#039t turn the key - to the point I needed to get the electric windows to work. There was a little bit of key
