Good explanation on the power modes here Perkles.

I'm really liking the middle variable power mode:

I can confirm the bar graph at the bottom of the dash tells you how much tc intervention is made.

I thought something was wrong with the fuelling as if I pulled away quickly from a stand still it seemed to stutter before finding traction. Found out today its the tc kicking in.

The tc levels definitely make a difference too as was stuttering like hell in level 3 and much less in level 2 although never got to try level 1.

Give it a try next time out, it comes in very easy in level 3 if you launch it.

Kwacky was right I couldn't resist and just fitted my arrow can and decat pipe,well fitted it twice
I took off the oe can and cat then found out the lambda sensor didn't fit the decat pipe,so refitted my standard stuff back on,then found there was an adaptor in the kit of parts 8-| what a plonker
Anyhow it looks proper now and sounds nice but I can't get the baffle out,I've took out the circlip but it just won't budge
Any tips ? (makeup)

fire up the engine, leave it to run, then cool the baffle

But Seriously, those arrow baffles are a right pain to remove. It's the angle of them.

Did you break off the welded tap ? If so has it left a burr which needs filing smooth ?
