Miata Turbo Forum - Boost cars, acquire cats.

I have read a ton of threads where the VTCS has been explained ad nauseam. I understand how they work and that they rob power. My car is 95% street driven so peak numbers are not what I am chasing. It drives me nuts that when I first start the car it feels low on power until temps hit 140 or I get above 3-3.5K rpm then it gets the "Shove". I hope I haven't missed this particular answer, but after reading so many threads I am surprised to not have come across it, so it is probably out there and I am searching for the wrong key terms. For state emissions reasons I need the stock computer and I need the CEL to stay off (No cheating by removing the bulb, can't throw any codes). Will switching manifolds(Skunk/Flat top/ETC) trigger a CEL? If so is there a way make the computer think it is working? It seems most people who are switching manifolds are already going standalone, which I get, so the solution for my situation appears to be pretty niche. Thanks in advance. Car is a 2002 SE. Also I hear it can be improved by changing some valves and that there was a TSB for it(Told by a tech) haven't found a corroborating source online or what the solution did, I have looked into this solution much less so not surprised I haven't found it yet and the answer does exist.
