Title: ITG Maxogen sooty exhaust???
Post by: Spankiee on July 01, 2014, 03:28:42 pm

Fitted an ITG Maxogen intake to my edition 30 the other day and I've noticed the back of the car and the tailpipes are a lot more sooty than normal.

I assume it's running rich due to the extra air/fuel mixture.

Will the ECU learn to compensate for this or will I just end up washing my white car every 2 days :(

The ecu will take a day or two to learn it mate.

Ok hopefully it will get better then.

Would be a shame to sell it.
