VTEC is engaged by oil pressure.

Don't look to your friend as a source of information on cars ever again.

If you use a test pipe with the stock ECU, you will have a check engine light.

True that!

I know of the Comptech module as one option, but it is no longer made. What other options are there? I have a SC coming Monday and I think a test pipe would be a good next upgrade
