Evo 8 feels naturally aspirated
Hit rev limiter last night on the way home then after that lost a lot of power. All IC piping looks fine. Actuator is physically okay, coils are good, is there any common symptom for this? The car drives smooth and starts fine. I couldn't visually see any loose connections. Could it be a cooked turbo? Can hear the tiniest little bit of spool

With that being before the turbo that wouldnt cause the issue youre having. Take the turbo intake off and check to see if there is any play in the turbo or if it spins freely. If that looks good recheck all couplers and piping. You either blew a turbo or have one hell of a boost leak somewhere.

I couldn't find anything in the end. All the piping seemed sweet. I put back together and started and noticed rattling around my cat converter that never was there. Wouldn't think limiter would cause this or lose so much boost. I'll head to exhaust shop tomorrow and get a test pipe made up.

If the cat gets clogged up it can really choke the system. If you blow the wastegate hose that leads to an over boost not under. You should really do a boost leak test before any wrenching though.
