Nah it just looks like that, im getting all the symptoms of having a hole, Slow spool, delayed spool, unusually hot intake temps etc, + the my01's have a cat in the up-pipe, it just looks like a shield.

This is what a get for racing my friends new VE GTS at 3am with a cold engine..Doh!
UMMM, mate that is a heat shield, all genuine uppipes have a heatshield. catalyst or not. I own a bugeye, the first thing I did is fit a decat uppipe from MRT in the East.
You said in your first post your not really sure what your talking about, well most of us are.

It sounds like your pre-catalyst may have broken up, remove the exhaust downpipe, have a look in the turbine housing for any melted convertor material. Make sure the turbo spins freely.
Although, if its broken up, the car will idle poorly and struggle to generate any boost.
