Brooksy-BFXR6T Member 14 Member For: 12y 11m 23d Posted 28/08/13 08:12 AM Share Posted 28/08/13 08:12 AM After installing an xforce exhaust, and removing the sensor behind the cat (AFM?) my engine light is on. I expected it, however just want to know whether it will go away if I get a bung put in the exhaust and reinstall the sensor. I would just get a tune, however I need to upgrade to an SCT x3 from my series 1.. which is going to take me a little time.Thoughts?

If you out a new cat in without a tune the car will over boost if you put your foot into it.. Tune ASAP!!

I dont think it will stay out for long though as the Xforce cats are not as restrictive as the factory item. You will need to stay off boost till the retune too.You could always put the stock system back on till you have saved for a xcal3.

chaydon1 Member 42 Member For: 12y 2m 25d Gender: Male Posted 28/08/13 10:15 AM Share Posted 28/08/13 10:15 AM The controller is connected to the boost solenoid valve. then to fuel press reg and also the actuator. the boost controller bypasses the factory ecu. I dont understand why you would need a tune?

chaydon1 Member 42 Member For: 12y 2m 25d Gender: Male Posted 28/08/13 10:50 AM Share Posted 28/08/13 10:50 AM Then what happens if you turn the boost controller off. The ECU will not then control boost then bang?Not saying your wrong but I just dont follow.
