If your cat is bad
it will cause the turbo to not fully spool since the exhaust flow is slowing down at the blades. This will cause the turbo to produce lower boost levels and less power since it is not sucking in the correct amount of air.
Where is this air sound coming from?

U notice u were loosing boost slowly or all of a sudden like yesterday?
If the CAT is getting finish or sth, u'll notice decreasing in boost slowly. But it could be also all of a sudden finish and might be loose hoses. Check CAT and BPV/
