Depending on how much it's gonna cost you, would it be more beneficial to pay a little extra and have your existing ecu custom mapped to take full advantage of your existing mods? I'm guessing that the Prodrive ecu will be mapped for the PPP exhaust set up and not give the full benefit of the decat system you're currently running.

I'm not too clued up on all this tech stuff, just wondering, that's all.

You have a point Slowboy. Depending on the price being asked for the Prodrive ECU, a TeK of some sort may prove a more attractive option.

The other thing to be aware of is that PPP + full decat can sometimes cause unwanted boost spiking. Thus if Judge does go this route, under ideal circumstances he'd have a boost gauge fitted beforehand to make sure nothing goes skew-whiff.

If spiking does result, it's fairly easy to cure - just enlarging the actuator restrictor bore fractionally should sort it.

So do we think it is a worthwhile mod? what diff should it make to a quarter mile time for example?
