do these work ?if removing both cats ,do i need one or two to stop the cel light coming on
this is the one im looking at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CEL-FIx-02-SIM...item4aa5178a30

May as well get it remapped then and the CEL light wont be an issue (it gets turned off in the software)

hi mate ,will be getting remap at a later date but planned on decatting first and remap next year when i have the money

Fuzz

I'd save the Decat for next year when you do have the money then.
It's safer, it'll drive better, you wont have to spend money on or worry about the cel fix.

djc1

i understand what your saying but id rather put the system on soon and remap next yr .
has anyone else any experience of these ?

What MY model of car are you de-catting ?

I had an electronic CEL fix and it was a bit flakey and I had to use the SECS to re-set regularly. The above fix moves the sensor out of the airflow........again n0t 100% as the ECU wants to see a fluctuating signal from the rear 02 sensor. When cold the cats don't work so it ignores the initial signals..

The only foolproof method is mapping it off

its 01 bug mate

would the car be in limp mode if the cel was triggered with decat ?

No limp mode for the CEL......... as it's an 01 then it will be a bug WRX.

There won't be much performance gain with the de-cat without a re-map as the ECU will plod along thinking it's a 215PS UK WRX.

ah i see ,i automatically thought if the cel was triggered the car would be in limp mode ?
am i getting my wires crossed with the engine management symbol ?

Fuzz

all one and the same symbol, it just depends on what caused it to illuminate that signifies whether or not it goes into limp home.
