So, I have access to a shop and some that has agreed to make me an ORP. My only question is, What do everyone do about the post-cat O2 sensor? Won't that trip the system into a fault code?

o2 Cheater Wire.

Or have the downstream o2 turned off in a tune.

I have a predator...do you know if it has that capability? Or is only the SCT that can do that?

I would bet the predator can do the same, though I'm not very familiar with them.

You could always make your own "cheater" http://www.contour.org/ceg-vb/showthread.php?t=760

I've had those work on some vehicles and not work on others.

Oh Steve, I forgot about that...LOL I have a o2 cheater, and my XCal2 tune.

I won't even be using my o2 cheater this spring anyway.

But those can be boughten for around 25-30 from New Edge Performance.

I'm not sure how easy it is to get a cheater these days, Big Brither has been cracking down on that suff recently.

I don't know if you can do it yourself with a Predator or not, Whose tune are you running?

I have a SCT Xcal2 on Chromie, with the 2nd o2 disabled. I have the cheater wire from before I got the Xcal2, but never bothered to remove it.

I bought the Predator from Tom @ Focus-power in one of the Carolinas... But I had to take the tune out, and apparently when you take the custom tune out of your car, you lose it. Tom re-sent me the custom tune in a file via email, but you need some $50 cord to reinstall the custom tune to the Predator. So I am just running the "performance tune." It is still a HUGE difference compared to the stock tune.

I've got the cables to upload the tune from a pc to a Predator, I could loan you the cables or prefferably you could e-mail me the tune or put it on a flash drive and swing by Tousley with your Predator and I can load it back on there for you.

I believe you can also buy a cable and power cord for less than $50.00 if you do some looking around, they are nice to have.

Is it the 9-pin cable?

Yeah, it is the 9-pin to USB I believe. How much and where?

I sent you a PM steve.

I need one of those too, so if someone finds them, send me a PM.

I need one for my datalogger.

The thing is, you can find 9-pin to 9-pin for a reasonable price, but for my laptop, you need to get a USB to 9-pin, which I have had a harder time finding. But same here, if anyone knows where to get them, I need to buy one.

Focus Sport sells them for like 10$ last I heard.
