I'll let you guys know, just ordered the header today from McGeorge, I'll post pics n stuff of the install, perhaps a tutorial...?

 

Yes it works with the DC header. Well at least it has been working for over 600 miles now.

I'll let everyone know if the light ever comes back on.

 

Duey wait a minute partner here me out in fact everyone should read this post. I have a turbo tC and I have my check engine light on my car runs rich, However when the shop first did my kit they did something similar to this where they turned off the sensor but what the downside to this was is that you car is N/A stock and after a turbo its Fored Induction so when they tricked the sensor into thinking that it was running stock They also fooled the computer into only giving me enough gas to power an N/A motor meaning that when I went over 70MPH or so I was getting a gas cut off because my motor wastn getting enough gas so it starting choking or stalling so I could only drive about 65 to be safe. Trust me you are better off running rich at least you know your car can run full power. My best suggestion would be to wait for a shop or company to come up with a new program for your stock ECU or buy a piggy back system.

 

my A/F is pig rich under boost and it's killing my power. That AND my CEL is on so the ECU is on "limp mode". I do have a piggy-back (e-manage) so i can adjust it as i need, i've even switched to a MAP system as apposed to the stock MAF setup.

I'm actually gonna do this mod tomorrow and throw it on the dyno right away to re-tune the e-manage and hopefully all goes well. Wish me luck lol

Where are the antifoulers installed at? In the header itself or in the pipe heading back towards the rear?

 

On the second O2 sensor.
It's on the S-pipe onder the engine.

 

I messed up and drilled them both and it didn't work. Thats what I get for not reading carefully, I will have to try again.

 

I just did it wednesday and drove down to savannah and back, over 500 miles and no problems yet! Good news is that along with more power, I also have better gas mileage! I usually get 300 or less per tank, and cruising at 80mph the whole way I got 330!

 

Great idea. I guess the anitfouler male threads fit the hole for the 02 ?

 

^^Like a charm!!

 

Very cool. Keep us updated on how it works down the road. But if it is working now, then it should stay that way as the 02 is pulled out of the flow further. By the way, what exhaust are you running and how does it perform and sound?

 

Well I did this and it still gave me a CEL. Any ideas on how to get rid of the CEL?

 

I have the stock exhaust with the DC header, and I love the setup!
The sound is quiet, but kinda raspy, if that makes sense to you?
Performance wise, a little improvement over stock up to 3000 rpm, after that, HUGE improvement!!
I would suggest this mod to anyone, probably the most bang for the buck for $300

 

TurboTC,

Thanks for the suggestion. I did the mod and it worked great! I've been riding around for a few days without a CEL.

 

So this fix is not in the DC header/ 1st o2 sensor, but in the down pipe/2nd o2 sensor??

 

Correct

 

Well I found out that my Air/Fuel Ratio sensor (first O2 Sensor) was bad today and that is what caused my CEL. It didn't throw a CEL for the second sensor so I guess the mod worked.

 

If anyone has trouble finding the anti-foulers (aka non-foulers), you can get them online at http://www.rockauto.com/ and do a search for part # 42002 or 42009. I went to 2 different R & S Strauss stores and none of them carried this size and only found 1 place online that had them.

 

Which one do we order? One's like $3 and one's $5? One of each? Or are they both the same thing?

 

so will this work on the megan racin header as well? will it also go on the s-pipe/downpipe?
