Have you been throwing the hippo into quarry pits again young lad?

What you mean no performance, you aint revving hard enough.

If its late 2000 onwards it might be the MEMS 3.0 ECU, this has a sensor downstream of the CAT.

Early MEMS 1.9 with dizzy cap just have the one lambda sensor in the manifold,

Nanny state comb overs in suits introduced 2nd sensor to stop the modding of a decat and emissions control. You will need a MIL eliminator, or tie it up to the outside of the exhaust (apparently tricked the sensor into thinking everything is normal)

haha indeed i have been to the quarry and over doing the enthusiasm lol
well it pulls off well but it has done about 160,000 miles with only one hedgasket problem in its lifetime:O but i expectit to go wrong soon hehe.

so would it just be easyer to put a new CAT on as its a 2002 model?

and can i get rid of the back box? its realy annoying because of the clearence from the ground. mind you is about to fall off anyway.

Yeah if its 2002, then the 2nd sensor will give you problems. It goes into limp mode. You'll need the MIL eliminator, with your decat, or fit a sports cat.

qwl sounds like i may need a sportscat lol where aboots would i be able to get one of those nice and cheap?
i need it for sunday hehe.
cheers

oh yea and its a petrol one lol
wierd tho it hasnt rly geven me any problems
YET
