Yes, I believe every other cycle as I clear it with my Predator after it comes on. Getting it tuned out shortly.

But well worth it.

Looks good. Next up: move the TCS so it sits near the PCM, and do the wire mod/wire tucking?

If you were having oil consumption issues, you may also want to invest in a dual catch can setup, like a Saikou Michi (because they look pretty good). http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...6/DSC01474.jpg

Thanks!

Is there a sticky for the TCS mod? Wire mod/tucking?
That's a trick looking catch can set up, definitely in the future.

Not the best picture, but it's all I could find. Our car has traction control.

What I did was pretty simple. I just unbolted the TCS module, unplugged it and then positioned the cables going to it behind the engine. Next I routed the one going to the TB to where it looked the best and routed it back to the TB.

The one thing you have to do is extend the wires. Since I already have the !wire mod done, I simply ran the wires for the TCS under the fender and then out with the factory wires behind the computer and plugged it up there. It works great and can not be seen at all unless you are REALLY looking for it.

The only thing holding mine back there are a few stratigic wire ties. Make sure it will still function correctly when position as the cables do move(at least the wire in the cable) to control the TB when TC is on...

I pulled the air fuse and relay, still get SES. Have to get the three codes deleted.
