the thought of a stuck open throttle pushing me off a cliff is a great deterrent to modding at the moment

Reminds me of this picture in the back of an old Road & Track with the tagline... "A good car, but certainly not a great car"

My favorite was the one with a Ferrari in a ditch with a guy standing next to it. The caption was 'Good tires yes. Great tires no.'

I have had it for monthes, no reflash , a CE warning light came on after install and have not seen it since, for the ppl that are waiting , you are wasting precious time IMO, the plenum and headers are a must on the GT4 IMO. Total transformation of an already fun trackday car.

so, you're saying that without any other mods, you've had yours on and no issues? mine is sitting in a box at the bottom of my stairs, stairing at me each time I walk out the door.. this is really tempting to do the project this weekend. argh.... what if each car is different and some through cells while others don't?

did you do this PIWI adaptation at the dealer or just the install yourself?

Cobb has a v102 map out that fixes the MAP CELs. Mine threw the codes once and hasn't come back yet. I'll keep you guys posted but so far so good and their support has been great.

Ahhh, sorry, I misunderstood and thought you had the Accessport. They have some pretty cool maps for the headers/high flow cats...
