full milltek fitted but now poping ???
« on: 10 May 2012, 19:38 »
ive just had my milltek fitted along with a de-cat down pipe but now when i lift off the gas or change gear it pops and sounds like a back fire
is this because i now need a re-map??

Try tapping the throttle after you give it beans in 2nd to about 3500rpm.

Doing that in mine produced some rather huge flames.
