Euro Header install
SO FAR:
Ceramic coated Euro Headers Window cut in heat shield and 90 Degree bungs welded in EGT sensor location To avoid it being a rock-catcher, welded a cover over the area More to come... |

Looks like you placed the EGT way down the line. Mine is right up on the headers. What's your take on this?

I sometimes see an EGT plausibility fault code in the ECU. What software are you going to run, if any?

Some more shots of the install.
Fitment of the headers is 100% bang on. Freed up a lot of room as well. I have to say a HUGE thanks to CG Motorsports of Richmond, BC. They are true BMW guru's. The rear O2's were run above the heat shield, securely fastened. The job really looks stock, with no giveaways from underneath unless you're looking for it. The best part? NO CODES! The car feels like it went on an extreme diet, and the right pedal seems much more sensitive than before. Then there's the noise. I'll save my full review for tomorrow once I've put some miles on. Quick question: Is there a resetting of anything I should be doing in lieu of not having a specific Euro-tune for the car? Or does it not matter and the ECU will adjust accordingly?

Less than the cost of a set of new O2's and EGT from Europe (the right length out of the box)? Not sure on that. Maybe someone can chime in |
