Got a 200 cell on mine and is fine, no codes coming up. Could the lambda be a bit dicky ? I guess you removed it from the old cat, that may have damaged it?

Custom map? That will sort it but suprised a 200 cell brought the light on.

Check its all sealed up ok because if there's a leak that will affect the lambda reading.

Thanks for replies ,had the Revo stage 2 map installed by scc performance ,guys did a diagnostic check and it said lambda sensor out of parameter ,mechanic said due to downpipe and sport cat lambda sensor just out of range ,when remapped everything ok ,asked if it would be ok at MOT time he said yes ,so I can only take his word for it ,car goes like a rocket now ,would definitely recommend the Revo software
