    Hi,

    Ihave bought myself a supersprint centre race pipe and piper back box which has decatted and desilenced, and after a few days the ECU came on so have bought the lambda sleeve from Kam Racing

    Now fitting i know i may get a few smart answers but what is the bes way to go about it do i keep the plug in one end of the sleeve and put the sensor in from other and screw in and mount under car in cable loom? then bung lambda hole up with bumng i got with the pipe?

    Any help appreciated thanks.

    Its a Lambda sleeve and a bung to block up the exhaust - two separate bits but we put keep them together by screwing in the bung in the end...

    I made this mistake
    One is the sleeve
    The other is a bung
    Sleeve the second lambda and cable tie it out the way, plenty of room!

    it wont.

    I even had mine reset at a garage. Came on again after a few miles.

    I had a lambda sleeve on mine from day 1 of fitting the centre pipe and the light came on pretty much straight away after a drive.

    Just have to put up with it.

    In this case you'll need an O2sim! Electronical or mechcanical!
