How much would it normally be for a remap ? Is it something i need to be doing asap or will it wait for a while until i get some more cash !!!
Or how much is a CEL fix and do they really work ?
If i was to put the cat back on would the light go out ?
What do you suggest i should do ? I've only had the car 6 week so i don't know that much about them and i don't want to cause any damage.
HELP!!!

If I've already had a Tek 3 re-map on my 03 WRX (when I had my 3" bore exhaust and sports cat fitted) and although it now produces huge torque - apparently the up-pipe is strangling the top end power.
The question is: If I were to fit an up-pipe - would it need remapping again to avoid damage?

If you can't afford that at the mo, get the CEL fix (which is a fraction of the price) and save up for the remap. You should send an E-mail to one of the tuners on here to confirm, but AFAIK you won't damage the car by running a decat DP on a UK WRX- the ECU will just add fuel to match the better flow of air. You just won't be getting the full benefit is all.
Whereabouts are you based mate?
