    What sort of engine mods are you running?


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    I looked into this a while back from LOHEN, who said at he time that they were withdrawing it from sale as it caused 'Limp Mode' to kick in on some cars - As William said. However, I checked their site and see they are still selling it. Forge stuff is pretty good, but I don't have 'up to date' info on whether it's OK now or not. Give LOHEN a shout and ask them if there's still a 'problem'.
