That's one option, but who will do it? The dealer wont. You're not required to do anything....you'll just have a solid CEL on all the time. I've even heard of some people putting tape over the light. Outa sight, outa mind kinda thing.

My suggestion is don't put headers on the car if things like CEL's bother you. You can try messing around with 02 simulaters, relocation of 02 sensors, or ROW flash. The first two options don't work most of the time. The 3rd option is the ROW flash. Don't know much about that because nobody outside of Porsche dealerships that I know of has access to this uber expensive tool and if they do they are not advertising ROW flashes.

No problem, sorry it wasn't the answer you were wanting to hear. As far as I'm concerned there is no easy way around this "problem." If you find anybody selling ROW flashes let us know about it.

You don't absolutely need to have the dealer do it. There are indies and private individuals that have access to a PIWIS tester. You should ask Loren over at Renntech, he is very sharp on this stuff and may know who can do this. May be a little bit of a drive from the 831 but its an excuse to go beat on the car a little.

Is there such thing as headers that fit a 2.5 TIPTRONIC? My particular car is a '98.

The rest of world program is easily loaded by a PST-2 if you have the DME learning code (must be obtained from a dealer).

RoW flash is no big deal at all if you find someone with a PST2 or PIWIS (I have a PST2) and you get your DME and Immobilizer codes from the dealer.
Any other way you try to make this work on a 2000 or newer car is going to be a mickey mouse fix. You can try O2 simulators, try moving the secondary O2's behind the secondary (well now the only) cats (if you leave them, that is) cats, or just get used to seeing the little yellow lamp lit up (and never knowing if something else is wrong also).
