Depends on how much you want to spend but I would recommend that you get a remap especially with those modifications on a stiv5.

You can probably get the std ecu remapped for about 700 via the ecutek route, not sure on imports via this method though.

Another option would be aftermarket ecu's like Link, Gems, Motec etc.. This would range from 1.5k ish to about 3k. The choice is yours.

But would recommend you get some monitoring equipment like a AFR/Lambda gauge, knock detector and a boost gauge at minimum.

Thats my thought at 5:30 in the morning

Get a few more replies and see what others have done with theirs

I'm also thinking of going down the EcuTek route.
I've got a full decat MT99 UK turbo and it seems the next step forward.

IIRC John Banks has a map for your car.
And he is in your neck of the woods...

IIRC means 'If i remember correctly'.
I'm sure i read that John has a Map for an STIV.
Do a search for 'John Banks' or 'Dawes' to find his email add.
