CAI, Catless Downpipes, Catless exhaust, 02 Sims, no tune drivable?

So after having done some searching on the forums I'm still at a loss as to finding an answer to this:

I have ordered V3 and it should be on the way but in the meantime I have my CAI before me and my Catless downpipes installed. Will my car be able to handle the CAI and full catless exhaust with no problems? I have 02 sims and V2 that I don't mind running in the meantime but there have been mixed reviews about V2, CAI, and full catless. Some say it'll run fine, some say it runs but with dangerously high boost, and others that say they only get limp mode.

^^^^not you, Max. I don't know why he responded that to your question.


And back to the point, try the PROcede but you MUST have a boost gauge. Just keep an eye on boost and lower your settings accordingly.

haha no worries Max is just joking around, he's the one that sent me the intake - see the very obnoxious sig

you should get a boost gauge installed in your car for good, not just for testing, that would be my frist step... ask shiv what he thinks you should be setting everything to on the V3 with the according mods.

i have plans for that as well, it's just that won't arrive in time for the show probably. but you're absolutely right about having something set up permanently. i'm looking at going with the camp2 and some other nifty tricks with the tvandnav2go module
