Decat help.

[Redrobbersdog]

MOT time has just been and gone and everything was all ok apart from the emissions. On the fast idle test the co failed but overall the car has passed. This has got me thinking about a remap and decat preferably with the original centre and back boxes. Is there a decat pipe that will allow me to do this and how will it effect the MOT for next year also do you still use the lambda probes or do you use bungs??

I live in west Manchester and wouldn't mind some feedback on somebody to do a remap local or do I travel and use Bob Rawle for example? Lots of questions but it has to be right at the end of the day.

Cheers

I just kicked everything out (cats, sensors, etc), straight pipe from the engine to the one back box (HKS, with a bung for long distance driving).

Car sounds better, antilag can be switched on, uses way less fuel and with a simple remap I got 400bhp.

For the MOT, just plug it into the car next to it

you would need to keep hold of the cat for MOT, I think. You don't need one to pass an MOT, but you need to have the emissions low enough to pass, and for that I am sure even the best remap would not do this.

I have kept the complete system to swap back every year. As I am fairly sure it won't pass as is.

You can always get the work done and take it to a garage to check your emissions then you know for sure.

I am also pretty sure a standard ECU does not support antilag...even with the Ecutek re-flash. You will need a new ECU like Simtek, Solaris, Gems or Motec etc...

Definatley worth it though....there is nothing like it. I would pay the 1000 pounds to hear the pop and bang echo through the forests any day!!
