[QUOTE="HPLouis, post: 16395616, member: 5445"] Hi, I'm not against turning off the sensor. I agree with you, the damage is not turning off the sensor, it's removing the converter. Now, when you turn off the sensor, you are defeating a Federal Emissions Control system and that's where the Federal Government comes in. Now, when the Government wants their pound of flesh, they will fail the car, but for the tuner, the business owner.....they will hit them with a fine that could cripple their business. The business has so much more to lose. I have the SCT Advantage software with R&D access (their highest level). If I get caught turning off my O2 sensors, I would fail emissions, that's about it. I'm an individual consumer. Now, if the EPA dug deep enough, SCT would remove my R&D access and put me down to Professional access. That's pretty much my punishment. If a shop did the same thing, they might get fined, might lose a business license, lose emissions certification, etc. It's pretty painful for them so it's a big risk and the problem is people talk. I was on FB and someone was bragging about how Lund turned off his O2 sensors in the tune. He's putting Lund at risk bragging about that on a public forum. [/QUOTE]
