Yep, you'd need to transfer your TPMS from y0ur old wheels or get a new set. Or you can just choose to ignore the dash light.

Look into High Flow Cats for some gain, but since you live in California it's tougher to add anything without causing smog check issues.

WAY TOUGHER IN CALIFORNIA.. REALLY HAVE TO BE CAREFUL. Any more? Preference on intake/exhaust?
I hear most people just choose to ignore, but I don't like the sight of a light on, on the dash.

if it's the TPMS why not just put them on so you won't see the light? Who installed your wheels and forgot that?

That's what I'm going to do. Like I was saying, some people are saying its more than just TPMS, but now you guys & more research that looks to be all. & Some rink dink tire shop, Locally put them on. Light didn't kick on instantly. So didn't mention.

Yeah, you have to drive a while for that light to come on the first time, IIRC it took mine about 20+ miles, but once it comes on it will come on immediately thereafter.

If you don't have TPMS sensors in, then that's your problem. No TPMS sensors = the car not sensing TPMS so it throws the light assuming somethings wrong. Install TPMS sensors or ignore the light.

As for your upgrades, this whole forum is dedicated to answering that question. Use the search function and browse around a bit to prevent yet another thread about first upgrades. Very few questions I've had have not already been covered in detail on here. Good luck and enjoy the endless combo of mods available for our cars!

It's not having tpms sensors 100% that's causing your light to be on. Whoever is telling you it's something else doesn't know cars at all and shouldn't be a reliable source of information pertaining to cars in any aspect. Lol

Here's an idea, try looking for light weight options for parts...ie those Niche wheels most likely weren't the best bet to gaining HP. The G is by no means a light vehicle so shedding some weight will create a better handling and aggressive car.
Don't let some of these people fool you, if you want to get any amount of decent gains from this motor, you need to put some money into it...cheaping out on a cat back system and some off brand intake to save a few benjis won't get you far.

Luckily, you already have the "iLLest" mod which allows the AC compressor to supply the engine with a variable of 5-30 psi boost depending on which car you are street racing. The back up camera assesses the competition and feeds the CPU with pertinent data on approaching race threats.

For realistic options, look here: https://www.myg37.com/forums/newbie-...rformance.html

TPMS sucks. It's a dummy light for lazy stupid people IMO. Back in the day no cars had TPMS. Pre-trip inspect your car before you hit the road. I do every day still. I also don't have TPMS in my aftermarket wheels and don't care one bit about a dummy light being on.
