that is what the first sensor does (reports back to ecu to change air/fuel ratio), the second only checks to see if the cat converter is working, if it isn't then it flags a code. Fuel economy has been good the past week, what i'd normally return :)

The sensor is out side of the manifold so should be reading the clean air thats in the engine bay, that's how I was confused it (the eml) turned on. After a week now and a couple hundred miles it feels very nice through 3rd 4th and 5th, especially 3rd though :) I'm happy with the gains per...

experience is good to get those pesky heat shields off quickly!!

I never got an extension but did get 2 blanking plates. I cable tied the 2nd lambda probe outside of the header so it would read clean air (from the engine bay) but it still tossed a code! I'm not sure why haven't had it diagnosed yet.

No problem :) I have a couple of pictures and videos I'm willing to email anyone, just pm me. I'd upload them here however have no access to computer and don't know how to on iphone :( Another thing I will add, just went a short run to the shops there and check engine light popped on. Thats...

Installed today! Install took 6 hours, YES 6 HOURS!! Mechanics were working between mine and an Audio TT with a boost leak, a long day but very interesting. First off was to remove 2 heat shields that surround the manifold and cat converter. The last bolt which also holds the lambda sensor (I...

hello and welcome :)

me :) had them on for 500 miles or so now. Went for a spirited drive of 25 miles on twisty, hilly, uneven and in some parts fast Scottish B roads yesterday and they were excellent. No brake fade (which I've had before on the same road, very scary!), stopping power is strong. Not 'omg my eyes are...

ATM I have standard exhaust with the 2nd cat cut out and a PowerFlow (I think! was off of another car but had similar piping/bends as our 2's) back box. It sounds very nice to me as is, I'll do a before and after video :)

Very quick! You guys seem to be on your toes as well... It was shipped through the Philippine post into the UK, I'm not sure who brought it to my door though (Courier or Royal Mail) as it wasn't me who took delivery of it.

My Hot-Pipes manifold arrived today (nana) It feels a nice quality product, all welds look pretty and have been done to a high standard. Can't wait to have it installed Thursday!! Will add pics of installation on Thursday night/Friday :) Will edit post later linking to photobucket with...

They will look sweeeet when lowered, nice choice

I something I would like to try but being a golfer (which is my day job) my season starts in 2 weeks so won't have time. if it had more gains I would have done it in the last couple weeks. Hey maybe I'll end up doing it in a few months for the hell of it, but not ATM when looking for gains...

just a quick update... I hummed and hawed but eventually just decided to stick with the advice given and not touch the tb as its pretty un-restrictive. Thanks for your help people!!
