   Right I've been searching the bay after buying my MK1 Standard Manifold to decat my Mk2 with the Saxsport, I've read you need to relocate the oil filter or the lambda as it hits the oil filter, Now I've found these on ebay, 90 degree Lambda Spacers, its used for the Second lambda apparently to stop the EML light throwing up on the dash, but if i screwed one of these into the first hole would it do the job of missing the oil filter? or will it throw the mixture into mega rich mode creating a big hole in my pocket and a diy chavtastic flame thrower?
