Default Disconnecting Battery

if I disconnect the battery, will I need a radio code ? or will everything be just fine and work first time.

Not sure on the radio but it will reset your computer which could have a problem with an emissions test if it is required in your area.

Cheers, how will the emissions be affected by disconnecting the battery ? I thought the Lambda sensors adjusted mixture from analyzing the exhaust to fit a "map" / "profile" ?

The reason I was asking as I was told to fit a sprint booster, I need to disconnect the battery or it won't work. I am fitting it tonight so am I a bit concerned now that the car won't work after unless I do this and if I do, the emissions could be out and if that is the case it could be causing engine damage (depending on how far out it is).

I installed my sprint booster without disconnecting my battery. I did do the throttle reset afterward to feel the difference completely from the start.

I have a MT and it takes a bit of getting use to it due to the much faster throttle response. Once I acclimated myself to it, I don't know how I drove without before.

if you disconnect the battery (which you do NOT have to do) your ECU will reset, no codes, and you will have to re-program the stations on your radio. That's it!

Enjoy it, and as someone said earlier - Drive it like you stole it!!

Thank you, I was worried as one post I read said it didn't work until they disconnected the battery for 2 mins.
