No, there is no such forum rule. That's just Jack being Jack.
Happy Easter Uwe...........

So you have drank the Kool-aid......?
The difference between "True Motorsports" and just delete or defeat devices is where you have to consider is the SMOG device really hindering an alleged performance characteristic or is it that someone can't tune or is lazy and they direct you to delete it & because they set a control table to ZERO?
No real rocket science to setting stuff to zero huh, is that to be respected?
I guess my question to you and any of the tuners is, if the engine is running allegedly more efficient after one of these tunes and with harmonious combustion, why would you have to delete the CAT or readiness monitors and if you didn't remove the physical CAT, why would the CAT exhibit shortly after such a tune & at a 99% failure RATE on an actual factory CAT & being completely damaged, restricted or plugged?

Now remaps do make trouble-shooting more difficult. I've seen it myself where a car with stock software ran pretty well, but "tuned", it was horrible, and the source of this was eventually traced to a small vacuum leak. So a "mapped" ECU can behave quite a bit differently. In addition, some tuners seem to think it's necessary or desirable to disable certain tests for faults...

Those calculations -- turning analog sensor readings into something resembling real-world values like g/s -- are done by the ECU, not VCDS. Now the digital value that the ECU sends to VCDS may still not be g/s, but that conversion will be some well-understood formula that isn't likely to be wrong, especially on 2003 car.
