disconnect battery for 1.5hrs, reconnect it, start engine and leave to idle for minute then drive normally (no thrashing) for a bit and allow ECU to program itself. shuld be ok then, i had same problem when i put KN filter on.

its not that hard to disconnect the battery tho, make sure u disarm ur alarm and if u have a standard vauxhall alarm u have to disconnect the battery within 20secs(i think) of turning the ignition off

get K&N 57i mate , it growls like a bitch and with reset ECU i aint got any flatspots either throughout the revs.
Yea i jus reset mine then left it for few mines coz it will idle at 1,200rpm for few seconds then slowly drop to bout 750ish. Jus drive steady for 20mins or so to give ecu time to adjust itself to new fuel/air intakes.
