I have question when tuning car - do u turn off cat over temp - if u are still running cats for tuning
Since when it hits high temp it dumps so much extra fuel

Not familiar with 18 tune, but I would say yes until you dial in your MAF. Someone with better knowLedge with 18 tune will chime in...
Even when my car was stock I always had all of the temp protection logic disabled, some may say otherwise but I never had issues.

Ok cool I will try
NO!!!
cat protection is there to do exactly as it describes it protects the cats
turning off cat protection is like turning off the wipers in the rain.. nothing good can come from it
if you are hitting cat protection often then its probably best you leave it on to protect the cats from your tooning skills
catalyst temp is inferred based on actual temp testing done to model pretty accurately what the cat midbed temp is for any given condition
use it as a tuning tool.
if your tune is causing your cats to get excessively hot you might need to re-evaluate what it is your changing to cause that

I have log the stock tune and it does cat over temp - it’s not just my tuning
I would suggest to turn it OFF only if you have removed the cats too. You can check out the max. temp specs (RTFM) of the stock sensors and cats and rise the thereshold a bit torwards the specific max. maybe, but normally you have to change the vals only if you have put your hands on race cats and|or other sensors for example - or for other good reasons -.
Well, if your local laws and|or You don't care, you can remove the cats completely, which would be way better then to destroy the cat+sensors intentionally by turning the temp ctrl OFF or setting the sensor temp value to HIGH.
A removal (depends on your country/state/car purpose/regulations etc. pp.) or making cats disfunctional is (as always) Your decision and risk of course.

its only useless if your ignorant
WOW! This is the first I've heard of turning it off and picking up power. Learn something new everyday. Can you explain how it works and how disabling it adds power?

I am 30.
yes cat protection exists on sbf, 2v and 3v as well. So a .75 AFR on decel and cruise causes a loss of power? Or are you saying that you hit cat protection while at WOT?
