I have just fitted a Decat to the standard system, and my EML light has just come on. I think my second Lambda sensor is knocking, if I just take it out and disconnect it, will it do anything different to what it is doing now?

You will need your 2nd lambda mapping out, to give you an idea of costs we charge £50 for this or free as part of a stg2 map.

That's what I ment mate.. Seen as it gets mapped out anyway, if I just disconnected it now before I get it mapped would it have any other effects to the car?
-
when my engine management light came on after decat it shot flames out of the exhaust on overrun and mpg dropped by 13mpg.

Leave it connected.

Great.. looks like i need to get a stage 2 map ASAP then.
Will my standard clutch be able to handle the extra power? I don't tend to drive that fast very often , just the occasional time when I get bored, so wouldn't be putting too much extra torque through it.

That was with a stage 2 revo map Dave flashed to the car. Rear lamda sensors in bank 1 & 2 below efficiency.

So if I get a custom code map with the second sensor mapped out, it will all be ok wont it?
I haven't noticed a big drop in mpg yet though..

Dont get Custom Code :sick: There's nothing Custom about it at all
APR,REVO,R-Tech are the way forward

I didn't mean the company custom code, what i ment was a stage 2 (rtec) map. Rtec are looking like the best bet to me, closest most reputable people I recon!! And ones of the cheapest stage 2 maps I have found too.

Haha good
Ive not had any dealings with Niki but from what ive read and seen allover the internet hes certainly a master of his trade

eBay special mate:
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=140477512918&index=2&nav=SEARCH&nid=22181138221
I don't think I have fitted it properly as I fitted it with only one side of the car in the air... :ashamed:
Is starting to sound nice now though :-)

did everthing come with it to attach to exhaust

Yes they sent me everything, new turbo gasket, and a big clamp as it is split in 2 pieces. The it just slots in to the slieve for the standard system. Welds look good too, really pleased with it tbh, considering I paid £92 for it including next day special delivery.
Comparison pic for you:

They put them up for auction continuously. Just kept my eye out and snuck in a cheeky bid. I have seen them go fr under £80 before.
One on there now;

They must have got annoyed with how cheap they where going for so the starting bid is higher.. Mine started at 49.99.

If any one is goin to get one of these decats (I highly recommend them :happy2:) before fitting trim down the two straight mounts as this was the cause of my knocking.
I took them back to behind the bulge for the rubber mounts. It doesn't need them to be that long as it still all sits perfect BT now I can just hear the awesome noises it makes and no knocking at all!
-
anyone tried one of these?

There was a thread on this a whiles back, but I don't know if anyone has actually bought and fitted one though. Be nice to hear if some one has...
