Default Anyone running a sportcat on a bugeye wrx ?

My bugeye has one fitted and just wondered is there much power diference between sportscat and decat ?
I need to see neil(slow boy racing) as its not boosting right.
So I was thinking of having a full decat and map tweak while im there.

ps im on td05 16g/pinks/sti tmic & 2 1/2 inch exhaust.


thanks
lofty

Ive got a red/burgundy bug wrx(td05 ect) just trying to sort boosting issues.
Do you think I should decat it?
Had to sell silver one to pay off a £1500 bill and bought this with money left over.

Being honest you wont notice the bhp, the sports cat may slow the spool by a few hundred rpm`s but at least your legal.
