Jason I can only comment on my own experiance,I decatted my 02 and had a egt sensor fail it snapped off and was lying in the bottom of my uppipe I replaced it with a new one this failed as well, I ended up putting a bung in the egt sensor hole and put a 2.2 resistor between the wires 10,000 miles later still haven't had any problems

Yes indeed.

I had been told by some so called 'expert' that I'd be in the mire if I bypass EGT...! As always it is obviously complete bollocks..!

Thanks Austen.

BTW nearly got my flaps fitted..!
