Have you guys seen this news yet?

So when you change out your OEM "CAT" to High-flow or test-pipe, if you get CEL, you cannot bypass?

(UPREV) ? I wonder if they are going down the same road? or being forced.

Who the other big tuner software? I forget. I wonder if they are going down the same road? or being forced.

That's pretty much the tl;dr of it.

UpRev? I'm not sure what their status is on the EPA crackdown.

If the tuner wants to stay in business. He will be doing this to.

I thought some people use a “J-bung” on the test pipes so that the sensor isn’t reading the accurate value and so the O2 sensor functionality can remain untouched.

Am I wrong?

No, but I think it still happens. (what I'm reading anyways)

I figured it was coming since Cobb did the same thing. I just didn't know if people saw that announcement giving actual dates now.

Ooof, I'm mid tuning process right now with my car and am very worried what this will mean for my setup. I'm hijacking O2 sensors for ethanol and oil pressure inputs, and have a decent amount of DTCs I should suppress.

Maybe this will kickoff more standalones or at least open-source options.

If you can find a stand alone. The prices have shot up.

Lol stand-alones have always been an option. This VQ community are to cheap and broke to install one.

For the VHR, there's only two options I know of, Motec and Syvecs, which means only certain shops. VVEL and dual DBW makes it a little more difficult....basically a huge jump from Ecutek/Uprev to a standalone vs other cars that can get away with AEM EMS, Haltech Elites, or even Megasquirts.

Side note: I'm hoping to go home this winter and finally work on my car, but decided to go with Syvecs

You forgot Emtron.

So how will this work for those who use Ecutek in different countries where the EPA has no jurisdiction?
