It will need mapped out mate, any decent mapper will be able to switch it off. You dont usually get it on the clasic but the newer cars are a bit more sensitive.

you can buy a CEL FIX mate thats what i have on mine and works fine there are 2 type a resistor type or a bolt type that remove the sensor from the main gas flow giving lower readings (the later i have on my bug)

or as above if your getting a remap (which is advised after getting a decat to remove over boost/boost cut) the CEL can be perminently removed
