Midpipe=ECU
Ok I have to replace my main cat with a midpipe, because it is clogged, and I already have a intake on, I have heard people say that I will be fine running a midpipe and a intake without a ecu, but then I have heard some people say that i need a ecu if I'm going to run a midpipe, can you guys give me some advise?

Well if you ONLY have intake and midpipe theny ou should be fine. You still have your very restricted downpipe and catback. If you add a catback then I'll defintely get an ECU.

Mine didn't have pills, I checked the lines when I did a hose job. Someone told me that on some cars the turbos are regulated by the nipple size on the wastegates. Point well taken though.
