I could look into it. I have a catted DP now that disappointed me. I'm sure I looked up the GESI part... Not sure why I decided against it. Maybe price....?
Just wanted to give feedback that these cheap AliExpress spacers do actually work. In not so hot weather some people (like me) run into the o2 sensor heating after catalytic circuit resistance too high code , I ended up troubleshooting it to be that, with the spacer, the sensor was taking too long to heat up to operating temperature thus triggering the computer into thinking the heating element was not working. Wrapping the sensor with aluminum wrap so that it would work as a heating conductor with the wall of the spacer made the trick, no more code and with a total cost under $10Gen 1 B58s have had great luck using this (including myself). For the price, it doesn't hurt to try and if it works on Gen 2 as well, the word can spread and people can enjoy their downpipes without a CEL
O2 Spacer That Works! (bimmerpost.com)
Oh wow, great discovery. Are you using the spacer I linked?
A little more Clarity please, since the details matter. Did you use kitchen aluminum foil like Reynolds wrap? Or something like a spark plug boot protector?
Every single defouler that has ever existed is going to be a gamble. What works for one person may not work for the next due to specifics of the vehicle's climate, turbo setup, exhaust setup, model year, software version, etc. If you want to know if it works, you have to buy it and try it for your car.
It’ll work for a while. Until I took it to the track and drove pedal to the metal. After that I said oh well…. I‘m used to the cute little engine light now ?
If someone is willing to send me one, and it works, I'll gladly pay for it and give glowing reviews. I tried two "catalytic spacers" and lost money on both LOL
