Looking to make some mods to the motor MY99 2000 Turbo.
About to order a H&S full decat with silencer in the centre pipe, for the wife and the wee mans benefit.
Looking to buy a replacement panel filter also, can anyone tell me if an STI panel filter will fit a UK car.
Is this the best type of replacement panel filter for the car.
Also wondered if I would have to remap the ECU if I went ahead with these mods.
Cheers

 

I have a MY00 running with a full DeCat and an STI Panel filter (which by the way fits very well indeed)

 

sti filter will drop straight in
most people on here would consider a full decat and filter an essential mod.
you do not need to remap but obviously you can make better gains from the mods having your ecu programmed.
get a dawes next

Forgive my lack of knowlege, but what does this dawes device do

 

It's a little valve that allows you to take boost control away from the ECU, and set it yourself.

A very cheap mod that can give you more power and torque, but you obviously lose the built-in safety features that leaving boost control in the hands of the ECU gives you.

As for getting one next, don't. At very least you need a boost gauge before buying a manual boost controller, and ideally a KnockLink and AFR meter too.

 

So if I use an STI panel filter it won't mess up the fuel air mixture.

 

Sorry to jump in by i want an STI panel filter for my legacy, do you know where the cheapest place to get them from is?

Where you put of by the MAF problems with the other filters?


Thanks

Also read on SN that if you fit a de cat this can give you turbo lag.
Isd this true

 

comper100,

www.japanparts.com

These guys seem to be able to ship the cheapest parts, but remember import duty (if you get caught!)

 

Cheers Scooby L i'll look them up and get one methinks!
