Well, more info from you would be great. That way we'll know why you want to run with no 2nd 02 senor. laugh.gif:
Anyway, no, unfortunately there is not anyone that can reprogram or recalibrate our ECU's. Argawal, on these forums, is trying last time we mentioned this, but it is a slow go as it was a few months back. It's a tough and long job. Rick from Real Engineering is having a look at it too. There is a guy coming over form the motherland (korea) to launch the GK reprogrammed ECU's and he is going to mention this to him. There is hope but it's a steep hill right now.

Well i dont want to run any cats. for performance and sound resons. and from what i hear there is no way to eliminate a cel permanently. which i would like to do. O2 sensors work on resistance right? so if i put a resitor in the line then the ecu would think the cat i there right?

I am going to be unhappy with you if you run your car without cats.. in this day and age of free flowing cats, there is NO reason, save for running a pure track car, to not run a cat. I like breathing clean air, I am sure you do to.

Well, the fact is, there isn't a simple answer. So put on some free flowing cats, and stop being cheap. The extra 3 HP won't get you anywhere that much quicker.

No Cats wont even give you 3hp, and your car will sound like... shi... (remembers RDTib_AWS)... crap. I like clean air mang... I'm a tree hugger all the way.
Hi-flows are like 80 dollars. WTF are you talking about. Your one cheap little bugger aren't ya? And no, they aren't restrictive. Same idea as a high-flow air filter. You don't run without an air filter do ya? Why don't you take that off and gain another 3HP? Tool...
