You could source a std ecu (should be able to get one for less than £100) and have that mapped. This option allows you to enjoy the car closer to it's full capability while giving you the option of returning it to std easily. A good chunk of the expense of buying and mapping a replacement ecu can be recovered through selling said item if you do decide to return the car to std.

Incidently, PPP + decat doesn't always lead to problems. One more thing; peak boost for me is more like 18psi, not 16/17 as quoted in my earlier post. I obviously don't spend enough time looking at my boost gauge when giving it some.

 

i'm having a tsl decatted front pipe fitted to my my99 ppp scooby
would you advise me to drill the brass tee out to 1.3mm immediatly or wait to see how it performs
should have read this post before buying downpipe

 

Well I have a H&S open neck Decat D/P to go back on and have the correct sized restrictor in readiness......if I were you I'd do the decat and see how the car runs - I assume you have a Knoclink and Boost Gauge ?

 

I got this answer back from Mike Wood http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...light=prodrive about putting on a Prodrive d/pipe (essentially a "decat" in terms of flow).
I presume the same issues about charge temps and injectors maxing out are valid for classic PPPs having a decat fitted?

Has anyone who put a decat and restrictor on a PPP then checked out the car setup properly on a rolling road, to check that they aren't sailing too close to the wind, or just relied on the car "feeling" OK?
