ok recently i blew my turbo and bought a new one and put it back on and ever since then my car tends to hold back when i mash the gas and stumble off idle when im in gear could this be because of a clogged "CAT" because i noticed that the O2 sensor was cover in oil and drove around will it out and and a little bluish oil smell came out of the O2 bung
also after i replaced my turbo i switched my fuel filter and noticed that it was really dirty but since have replaced it and added fuel injector cleaner just incase
so wat do u guys think clogged cat?

yes. Take the cat out. It contributes to global warming. It turns unburned fuel into carbon dioxide ( greenhouse gas) and water.

Now I feel like a tree-hugger for having 2 cat-less turbo cars, just doing my part to save the planet...

If that isn't justification, I don't know what is.
