There was an EPA disclosure form that we all had to sign and fax back to redline when we paid months ago..

[Yozh]

Ok Folks,
I have talked to JR. All is good, he's shipping the pipe and I'm shipping the ECU next week. Makes sense to me that they can't do all the ECUs at once. For anyone on this GB, I would suggest to get in touch with JR and get your pipe shipped and make arrangements for ECU delivery to them. Please also post your updates.
Cheers.

Jajaja greek good one but jajaja very funny. Ok you get your dpf but you cant install it cause your ecu is not programmed but wait you still have to send your ecu but you all cant send at once sorry YOHZ ive seen my ecu bench flashes and it doesnt take more than an hour amigo.

Explains why and where a certain someone got that litigious preventing crap from for me to sign when buying his EGR block off plates. I was ready to take his house too.

I'm quite ok to send in my ECU next week, does not bother me.

Question, I was told I cannot get just the pipe yet --- so this must have changed. If we now CAN get the pipe:

1) Will the car run with the new DP installed and stock ECU? I don't care if I get CEL's or whatever, but I just need it to drive to the install shop.

TIA

Gentlemen, Please look at my post #1407 on page 64. I typed in word for word the paragraph from the RSW paperwork that we signed. Nada in there about EPA or "not meant for highway use", etc. It is a standard form that you sign for any work done there, very generic.

He already texted me about it.

I do not know, I have paid pretty much right away. I would say call them and get your pipe shipped and arrange for your DDE delivery.

You might get a whole bunch of NOx related codes.

I guess I'll have to. They never called me back.

I don't know if all 10 production units will be the same or if I got an odd ball. Word to wise, screw this thing in AND do the final torque on it prior to doing the other stuff. I didn't do final tightening on it and had to pay a small price for it. My O2 sensor crow foot tool couldn't slip past interference point. My 22 mm open end wrench (nice craftsman) was way too long. So, I went to O'reilly auto and bought their house brand 22 mm wrench for $11. I cut it to a 4" length and ground the cut smooth. That was what I used for final torque.

I will be curious when some of the others get started about this bung placement. Please let me know.

Ok, I thought to post it here as it is relevant. And God help anyone trying to read through this whole thread trying to learn and understand what is going on. Well, besides all the off topic verbiage.

I went and bought an O2 sensor socket for the 22mm size. Now, I thought that if folks with experience (BB_cuda, TDIwyse, iaknown, 2deerwhistlers) and anyone else who has already gone through the downpipe install, can give their two cents. You know the worst is to get under a car and be missing a tool that you really need.

Is this too long? 2.5" deep. Thanks a lot.

[TDIwyse]

Don't think you want to use a socket as the wiring is in the way. A good wrench should work. Just don't round the edges...

335 I spoke to my BMW master mechanic car can run w/o DPF but codes will ensue car will not go on safe mode but I have my doubts on this. I will play safe and wait for it to be programmed either the same day my programmer gets down here or next day Im not in a hurry plus I dont plan to do the job my friend will do it

[BB_cuda]

Yozh, my socket was way shorter than that. It had a slot cut out on one side to be able to "feed over" the wiring above the sensor. I'm with TDI on first trying the 22 mm open end wrench. This didn't work on the back one though if you recall. My crows foot style socket is about 1" or 1.25" tall at most. I only needed it for breaking sensor loose and use the open end for re installation.

EDIT: Here is a picture of the tool I describe above.

[BB_cuda]

I had mentioned finding a piece of rubber on the floor after completely finishing the work. SO, of course it is found when i'm cleaning up the tools and getting the garage back to its normal disorganization rather than "middle of project" disorganization.

Can anyone tell me where this bumper goes please? I used scissor jacks to raise up passenger side of engine. I lifted it high enough that engine was nearly touching the passenger strut bar. After getting it up that high, I worried that I might be stressing the red inter cooler hose.

Sorry, photos aren't the best.

That looks like a tubing or flared nut wrench. Available in lots of places for those who don't want to make it.

It specifically was marked as an O2 sensor tool on packaging. I didn't modify it. There was a long one like what yozh showed too but with a long slot cut out on on side for same wire clearance.

Alpha, i cut a 22 mm open end down to 4" long. I will post a pic of that into the crow's foot entry above
