Neil,


I'm curious about the 2 O2 sensors in the headers with no cat in between. Did you disable one of them via ECU tuning? Otherwise the values they return are going to be identical in which case it should throw a check engine light representing a bad cat because it would believe that the cat isn't functioning to change the oxygen content in the exhaust stream. Looks like a nice install, do you have any dyno charts or performance testing from the car?

Ken the Secondary O2 sensors were turned of when we mapped the ECU.

What about service? Will a Porche dealer service the car? Warranty?

Also, how long did the work take?

Any Porsche dealer could do a service as we have tried to keep every thing OEM as much as we could.After the instalation the car was inspected by the dealership here in Atlanta and they did'nt even know that anything had beed done.The dealership ran the PST3 and it had bill of health.


The conversion takes 2 weeks and has 12 month warrenty

To me, that seems like a really good price.
