      I would bet it has a somewhat large boost leak. It fits the symptoms perfectly.

          I believe that the ECU requires the O2 sensor to switch between .7 or whatever and 0 otherwise it will set a code

          FASTER THAN DUBBSY

                The cat is not the root of your problems. From what Frank was saying you have your BOV duct taped on and you hacked up the stock plastic IC pipe to make it all fit up. For starters, fix that setup right and move on from there.

                  not the downstream 02. the down stream 02 usually doesnt change its voltage much. it doesnt switch from 0-1 v like the upstream 02.

                                  You should be able to hear it. Also if you have a regulator and gauge setup you should be able to turn off the valve and see if it holds 10 or 15psi.
