Hey guys this topic has been beaten to death, I will beat it a little more.
. Mainly for the 430 guys, did anyone SOLVE the problem on installing 2800 TC and not get the CEL? Also from what I read 2001 430's have less of a chance to get the CEL for some apparent reason.. I have an 04 SC430 and this mod I been wanting to do it for the longest..
I remember talking to Mo at SRT about a year ago on the phone, he said he could install the TC without having the CEL light come on, I didn't get a chance to ask him to elaborate on how he can do it.. I don't know what he can do in which we are puzzled on how to solve this annoying problem..
I know that supposively there is an extra sensor in the 430 that triggers the CEL and not something major. I don't want to get it and "hope" the CEL doesn't come on.. That is something I don't want to do.
Thanks guys, there MUST be a way..

Thanks guys for the replies...
Yeah I doubt Mo would do that
, that would be screwed up.. Oh well, kinda surprised that after all these years NO ONE can come up with a solution to the CEL problem.. You could easily disable the light but there is NO WAY that I am going to do that.

JPI will be installing a 3000 rpm stall TC converter on my GS430 next week. He says there will be no CEL light coming on and won't be removing the bulb. I'll keep you posted.

I am glad it worked out so far for you.. If I remember correctly only 2001 430's have a much less chance of getting CEL than 02+.. Its almost a definite that 02+ 430's will get CEL.. I have never seen or at least I didn't find it on here of ANY 02+ 430 owners installed TC and didn't get CEL.. I could be wrong though but I hope JPI can solve this.....
