the filter would be flowing alot better and same deal with the exhaust so it wouldnt hurt to do it anyway

i cant really remember but i think you disconect the battery for about an hour, then re-conect. turn ur car on and hold it at 3000rpm for 7 seconds then it should have restet... anyone feel free to correct me if i got something wrong...

haha i just noticed u have an old quote of mine at the bottom of ur posts(under my old name)

for VS ecu , take out engine fuse from fuse box under bonnet for 30secs then replace. start car and hold revs @2000rpm for 20sec from what i've been told.

any ways i think its hold it above 3000 for 30 secs.
