Default 100 Cell cats = Check Engine Light ?

Hi,

I might consider adding an exhaust system with 100cell cats to my 2003 TT non X50. I am also planning on chipping the car to stage 2, or 3 with new wastegate and intake system (but keeping the K16). My concern is would 100cell cats be a problem with either the turbo's overspooling and CEL (that is what I read so far from 2 users).

Thanks
Bo

That should not happen and has not happened to me or anyone I know as long as you have the 100 cell cats, if you have a CEL may be some other problem

good luck, but remember the more mods the more "potential" problems!!

Do you need to go to the dealer to have the code removed ?

NO codes with Fabspeed GT2 Loud Super Sport. Sold the car and the new owner has a CEL which came on AFTER he got some bad gas and added octane booster. Coincidence? Dunno. I ran 3 years and about 15,000 miles (lots of track) and no problems whatsoever with the 100 cell racing cats.

I have Europipe stage II quiet and GIAC controller on my GT2 - no problems. I had Ruf exhaust, with 100 cell cats on my TT. My brother has Cargraphic on his TT, no problems.

Yes, but I wouldn't think that would have anything to do with it. I could be wrong.
