1.8s shit themselves everytime you modify the inlet/exhaust on em without going standalone, because it cant regulate the fuel and runs rich and fucks em.
you CAN re-use the sensors, but again as I've already said, without adjusting the fuelling parameters to take into account the increase in air, you wont neccessarily get any more power, and you will long-term run rich/lean at different points in the rev range and will f*ck the engine.
Ed as much as I love you mate, what you have just said is utter bollocks.
I'm running different manifolds on my 1.8 and ir runs faultlessly except for a dodgy ICV.
I didn't just bolt it on. I did a lot of research into it after some of the stories I read including looking into the set parameters on the base map and it can easily handle it.
Mine at the moment is running very clean and not rich or lean at all (ignoring the fact my oil seals have gone and it's burning oil but that's being sorted next month)
Sorry mate but I can't stand it when people say these things when they haven't looked into it. If you were running gti injectors then you would be correct as they have a higher flow which the engine management can't detect.
