joeg Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 Ok, so my test pipe will be here wed. (to replace my crappy restrictive cat, which is clogged anyhow... and killing my boost)apparently, all I have to do is "use a 1/4 watt 1000megaohm resistor from radioshack, install that onto the 12v wire of the o2 sensor" to stop the check engine light from going off... we'll see how that goes, I guess...ANDa HBC manual boost controller later in the week/next week...

gambitrah Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Originally posted by joeg fucking radioshack doesn't have that resistor... gotta find one, and fast... im no 2g DSM pro but the only real reason to worry about that light is for emissions...and u obviously wont pass the visual inspection..do what i did...get flanges on a 3" cat ($100 for the cat) and flanges on the pipe..and when u wanna go get emissions done u rewire it and swap em out..take less then a few min...u could gut a 3" cat but it wouldnt be the even straight through u want..but it would be almost as good.. .even if the cat is gutted... check out www.dsm.org theyll have the answer (and part # prob to) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to see "check engine" all the time... hehhe right on..last time i got emissions i had my lowpro 17's on and the guy looked under the car and said "is that 3" or 4" exhaust?" I tell him full 3"..he looks under again and asks "thats a cat right?" i told him "yah man, its a 3" HKS StraightThrough cat..new tech man its sick shit" nothing about this car is legal emissions wise but yet it runs cleaner then the brand new Audi that came in before it...tune it right and itll drive forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
