I ran my UK99 for 50k miles with a decat without re-mapping. Then the new owner gained about 20bhp and 70ft/lb from a Tek3. So its up to you

It was before the age of Ecutek (bought it new in 1999) so never even thought of the ecu. Even had a Forge VTA dump valve on for all those 50k miles, complete with flames.

Car ran perfectly ok, it did have the normal hesitation at 3k when cold but I drove round that. Shame I sold it really, but its still going strong with a re-map at 90k

Dave.
