In the K Series VVC cars (TF, ZR etc) you are likely to loose power and torque but im not sure about the turbos.
My own personal view is why de-cat it? What are you hoping to gain? The 1.8T is fast enough as is and at MOT time you will need to put the CAT on/off each time. If you are looking to improve on performance . . . spend the cash on a Z&F remap instead. http://www.zandf-tuning.co.uk/#!page-7 ROVER UPGRADE 150 to 160 bhp £219 ZT/ROVER full remap 204 bhp /270Nm £239 Both versions contain a useful midrange torque boost !

Why not fit a 200cpsi sports cat?
Very free flowing while keeping the car road legal.
