MOT isnt a problem.  :cool: Emission wise anyway - everything else will fail  :grin:


Why aren't you concerned that your already juicy engine is wasting it as well, I know I would be as petrol is friggin expensive. Surely without a cat and the fact its overfuelling its never going to pass MOT emissions tests?

Being bad on fuel isnt my concern, its the using more than is should part that is.... Well i want it to burn it not pop it

Guess im buggered then... im not after any more power from a chip/remap just thought maybe less fuel being dumped the better.... and it dumps alot  :grin:


Sounds like you have a problem, if it is overfueling then refitting the cat will not sort it.
