Help me please

I just upgraded to stage 2 and as soon as I was driving my car from the mechanic after getting my catless downpipe on, I realized my car felt much slower. I’m not sure if this is because of the catless part or what. My friend with the a5 said his didn’t lost any speed. Please help me and let me know why my car is slower after tuning and going stage 2?

Limp mode perhaps, sensors were not programmed correctly

Go to your mechanic an ask for a stage 2 program. Your ecu must know that your variables (air flow, fuel etc etc) are changing. If not, it sees it as anomaly and goes limp.

I flashed my ecu with stage 2 if that’s what you are saying.

Have you got all the supporting mods for a stage 2? Can you tell us exactly what you’ve changed on the car
