    It sounds ridiculous doesn't It? It sounds hell of pissed off when you are revving it.

    That's no moon!
    Translation: (That's no 2.5 pulley!)
    lol

    The brand or company RatioTek is owned by the relative of the man who invented TransGo. The family apparently knows their engineering and reverse engineering as well. That was good enough for me to buy.

    Neither, that is correct. I am reviewing data logs of it when I took it for a drive. I want to ensure that all looks okay. I was hitting 10 psi already between half and 3/4 throttle.

    I know I know but I don’t think I have the nads to run a 2.3 on my daily driver. I still have all 4 cats as well. Hoping for a video so I can live vicariously through you lol.

    To all following this developing story. I do believe I have reached the end of the max the TRD tune can handle. (Could be wrong there, but proper values to me on a boosted vehicle are unfamiliar territory). Besides, my reported AFR's as well as fuel trims have been needing cleaning up for a while as for right noe they just dump fuel at part throttle and even WOT applications so I finally went ahead and pulled the trigger on a Self tuning OVTune device.

    This will ensure I am consistent across the AFR board at all pedal positions and that my fuel trims stay in check at all times. I am looking forward to reclaiming some much needed fuel economy back anyways.

    :)

    Oh you guys could be right. However, one on each bank would be considered a WU-TWC (warm up three way cat)

    I don’t know, looks same inside. My rear ones are enough to pass the smog test.

    That's because they're the main cats. The ones in front are only there to allow the rear main cat converters to reach temperature quicker.

    Nothing new. This design has been around for years.

    Hey @GT7 @FinnJ @Murphinator take it easy yeah? You guys can put down the pitchforks. :D

    They matter only for open loop to closed loop activation time. Other than that if you guy them or keep them they will activate a code for pre cat inactivity, but you can remove those codes with tuning software or similar.

    Still a little more, cause you started this. :boink: Try to hang on. ;)

    Why the O2-sensors are behind the front cats then? ECU don’t know anything about the rear ones?
