Sorry to thread jack but was there any noticeable improvement to the way the car performed with a TBE on the standard map? It's highly likely I'll be going a similar route.

Probably a little but the car had been mapped before so I couldn't really tell.  :ashamed:

The only sensor in the downpipe/CAT is the O2 sensor, which swaps straight over, or did on my 08 model year S3.  You just cant swap it back as it welds itself into the SS exhaust.  

Ref the original question, I have heard this(but not sure where from), but Ive always mapped first, before exhausts anyway.  Give Charlie at Milltek at call, he is very helpful and certainly answer your question.

You get little performance increase with a dp on a standard car. That being said, iirc RR ran a full tbe on his car for quite a while without any issues.

The O2 sensor will likely throw a CEL with the standard map and stage 1 map if you have a DP fitted which will cause the car to go into limp mode.  This is because the o2 sensor will think there is a problem with the exhaust as it will be flowing much more exhaust gas than the OEM due to the larger diameter size and the sports cat.

Stage 2 maps from REVO and APR etc stop this CEL from being generated.  Happy days.

Hedge fitted his and got no cel. On the GTI most of the ones that i have come across including my own brought the cel light on but the car never went into limp mode.  :happy2:

Also Ian, with mine their was a noticable improvement just with the zorst. A bit more power for sure. It felt like mine had a blocked nose then with the zorst all was breathing freely.  :happy2:

this all depends on what CAT you're running, a 200cell CAT will not throw a CEL

a 100cell or a de-cat will throw a CEL.

99% of the systems on the market with a "sports CAT" will be fitted with a 200cell cat unless specified!


Hope this helps!

again as i posted above.... depends on what CAT you run, also depends on which level of software you're running... for example all our stage2 software fixes CEL's caused by high flow exhaust systems!
