I assume you bought that Uni DP? Are you going to do anything to take care of the CEL with the EQT tune?
Actually picked up an IE DP on here. Should be here Tuesday. Haven’t read anything on CEL for the IE.
Looks decent. Link?

I have a set of their (GearWrench) wrenches that a friend at work gave me and they have held up well and this new set feels pretty solid in the hand. I'll tackling the transmission mount part deux on Tuesday so they should come in handy.
And your beagle is fuckin' adorable! I love beagles.

With the 200 cell cat in the IE DP, and the update from Cobb, I think this would apply. Expect a CEL with the rear 02 plugged in and the P0420 code or P0036 with it unplugged.

Will a spacer not eliminate this issue?

Spacer should take care of it, it’s just a matter of fiddling around with it to get it work.
Responding to myself.
I’ve been looking at the vib11619 vibrant j spacer after seeing that come up often here and in other searches. Seems it may not be in production anymore? I found one site, wctperformance, they claim to have one for $85 shipped
Any other recommendations?

That’s what I use, and had in my mk6 r, worked for me with the middle sized fitting.
Found this Generic j spacer for much cheaper. Looks to be a copy of the vibrant.

That's what you want. Vibrant and other mainstream brands probably discontinued for reasons around emissions policy compliance.

with the spacer to eliminate the code, you'd need to plug in the rear o2 sensor (against EQT's recommendation), right?

Correct, but if the spacer is doing its job, you’re not going to get the P0420 code which is the whole reason it was recommended to unplug.
A lightly used IE DP arrived packaged extremely well from @max_power
It’s no BAUN Performance but it’s what the budget allows for right now.
