Dunnas Member 46 Member For: 18y 2m 14d Gender: Male Location: Was Dunedin. NZ.. Now Brisbane, OZ Posted 27/08/07 12:47 AM Share Posted 27/08/07 12:47 AM Think you'll have to get it tuned mate. I was going to do the same to mine as soon as I got it (because we can in NZ ), until I found out that having a MAP car is much different to having a MAF controlled engine. The ECU won't just compensate for the changes... It packs a sad and throws it's toys out of the cot.

I had been told that I will have to get it edited now, as I had planed, but just after I took it out I got slaped with a $12,000 GST bill so was hoping somebody out there might know a tempery fix. O well. Looks like I will just have to work harder and earn some more money. cheers.Why dont you come to Australia and earn the big bucks?

apache_dj Member 145 Member For: 19y 11m 24d Location: Auckland NZ Posted 31/08/07 02:54 AM Share Posted 31/08/07 02:54 AM I removed the cat and centre muffler on my factory exhaust with no other mods than a pod filter way back when I first got her and luckily had no problems with the limp mode. I have since replaced the exhaust with an xforce number and edit etc etc - I guess limp mode is another luck of the draw things - some people suffer others dont Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/37745-i-took-out-my-cat/page/2/#findComment-569900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
