Dunnas Member 46 Member For: 17y 9m 24d 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TornadoJudd Donating Members 818 Member For: 18y 10m 20d Posted 27/08/07 01:00 PM Share Posted 27/08/07 01:00 PM thank you all for your comments. yes the laws are different over here. 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache_dj Member 145 Member For: 19y 7m 3d 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it properly or not at all.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
