One option is to rod the heck out of the cat. You're halfway to pulling the downpipe with it detached from the turbo. That's the easy fix if your environmental conscience and local emissions requirements don't get in the way. Replacing the cat with a straight pipe is a little more elegant.

I don't know if hearing the turbo spool down is normal. They're loud without an air cleaner so I imagine they're loud without an exhaust pipe.

7 psi isn't great. There's more going on.
