Hi Jack. It wont "bugger up any of the onboard computers", but to be done properly, the engine ECU will need reprogramming, to retain good drivability & engine life. When extractors are fitted the resulting exhaust will be too lean, so the fuel map Edited by user Tuesday, 2 September 2008 6:08:17 PM(UTC)

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |
