full system

[craig_harey]

I phoned awd today to find out if i got the rest of my stuff fitted ie my hayward & scott center section and one piece down pipe deccat ing the full system ,they say they fit somethin that will sort out the sensor issues and this will not cause any problems till i get it mapped also a green cotton filter it is booked for 23rd feb as this will be the next time im home does anyone have any advive or simillar stories of getting system on and few weeks later mapped when i say few weeks i only do about 250 miles a month so not a long term fix. craig

It's a quick fix to fool the ecu that everything it's ok......It depends how much you are paying for the quick fix as it would be better to spend the money on the remap then and only then will be 100% safe.

What normally happens when you decat your car is that your o2 sensor picks up a fault(it could be lean or rich) and by fitting a resistor(self fix or quick fix)it fools the ecu that everything is ok.

Hope that helps you a little.

Sorry to hijack, am thinking of fitting a sports cat to mine, is this likely to mess up the o2 sensor aswell. Is it the increased gas flow, or the lack of a cat that confuses it?

Craig,

I had almost the same fitted to my car back in Sept. About a couple of months

down the line my engine management light came on, got it checked, it was an emissions

warning. Was told it was due to the high flow d/pipe. It came on again about a month ago

canceled the error again at Subaru, basically nothing to worry about my car runs fine. But would say

the remapping is a must for safety sake.

Craig.
