Anyway the guy who sold me it has stuck a revo intake, miltek cat back and a Scorpion decat downpipe on with the intention of remapping it but financial issues struck hence why he sold the car. He did advise me that the eml might come on and it just has.
I’m wondering, would the car be ok running the decat as in would it run rich and lose power ? It still does feel quick even compared the V8 in the m3! And could I just use a sensor spacer to trick it. Decatted my m3 and used a spacer that worked just fine. I thought about remapping it but I worry the clutch may suffer, it’s on 80k miles. Or do I try to source a standard cat ?
Any advice is greatly appreciated

Do not use a spacer, the secondary lambda is not only there to check the performance of the catalytic converter. Either get a standard cat or get it mapped - the latter will bring plenty of smiles and will surprise you with the increase in power & capability of the car. These engines on the standard map feel dull and lifeless. Get it mapped and enjoy it properly

My stage 2 feels just as quick up to 120 to my old v8 m3 for reference
Get it mapped :happy2:

Hi. sorry to do it this way, i know this isn't the correct place to do this, but I'm unable to contact you any other way, because i haven't posted enough. I'm interested in your coilovers.

Where would be the best place to get an updated clutch and or flywheel and estimate for cost?

I truly do want to map it but the thought of spending a grand+ to get a new clutch hurts my soulShouldn't cost that much. Get a Helix Organic clutch with an LUK flywheel. I got mine from AKS.

Clutch is good for 400lb/ft apparently. Feels like stock but a bit heavier. It'd be a real shame to go back to a standard cat in your position. The standard cat and downpipe is probably the biggest bottleneck on these cars.
