again, a spacer will create MORE problems. just running it catless will just throw a code that says "lean bank etc." which is harmless...a spacer, as i have just figured out via trial and error, will throw off A LOT of things like a/f ratio, 02 ratio, etc.

the car with the catless dp never had issues. it ran rich which is good for turbo cars anyways.

with the spacer it ran SUPER lean, even though, it wasnt actually running lean...and stalled out a lot, etc.
Thanks for this!
I received my N54tuning N55 DP today...

I was debating whether to get the spacer and postpone my DP installation. Sounds like sticking a spacer in the Secondary O2 sensor socket would create more issues than it is trying to solve. I will pass on the adjustable spacer then, and let my Cobb custom e-tune (based on stage 2 OTS map) manage the auto-clear functionality then ...
