Default Not sure what you mean by "pre voltage reading"

The "pre-Cat" sensors are untouched. this is where the ECM gets all of its input for closed loop operation I believe. The secondary O2 sensors just report on cat effectivess I think so tricking them is no big deal. They do report a voltage (i.e. they are working) but the range is appropriate and won't set off the CEL is the idea.

Default By pre-voltage do you mean pre cat o2 voltage? The upstream 02s are not affected.

Just the catalyst sensors.

Default Is there any explanation why it doesnt work with Zoldmans 02s? Doesnt make sense that they wouldnt

work. Are you sure you have performed the mod correctly. Not trying to second guess you, but that just doesnt make sense why those wouldnt work versus "Audi specific" 02s. I bet the Zoldman (or VW) 02s would work, but given they may be slightly different when it comes to sensitivity (voltage calibration, etc), you may simply have to move them even farther out than you would the Audi ones. Good luck though, I hope you can get them to work!

Default Yes. It is so nice to finally feel like the suspension can control the weight of the car.

I know I gave up some utiliy so I invested $750 to take care of the utility angle:

Well done. So did you cut the pipes apart, or just remove the pre-cat from the front?
