Hi,

I have recently purchased a 2005 Blob WRX and it has come with a turbo back exhaust and panel filter, in the history folder there was a copy of a rolling road print out stating 275.5 bhp.

Would this suggest that the exhaust was on when it was remapped? im just a bit worried the exhaust was fitted after.

If you fitted a decat system and didnt remap it would you be able to tell by the way it drove that it was over fuelling or anything?

Sorry if these questions are a bit vague.

Thanks

Chris

i would be surprised if it made that power with cats still there, only real way to tell is get it on a RR,

Thanks for your reply, would i matter if it was mapped with the decatted system and then changed to another decatted system?

Also if i wanted to change the current decatted system to a sports catted one would it need a remap?

I brought my blob wrx in april decatted with out remap. Was fitted with ppp and had a rr print out from scoobyclinic dated 1month before i brought it. 277bhp on print out and in 3months i never had eml light come on but i was always worried how safe it was running so i had andrew carr map it for piece of mind more than anything. The cost of andrew to map it is nothing compared to a rebuild

I know it has def had a remap as i have just spoke to the company, just not sure if it was done with the current system or if it has been changed thats all, im wondering if the system was changed to a sports cat or another decat would it need mapping again?

Tidgy

yes would need mapping again if you added a cat/sports cat

Thanks for your help guys, ill try find out some more info on what system was on it when it was remapped, if not ill get the map checked.

I here alot about Andy F where is he based?

Scotland so a bitof a trek, I used Pat Herborn (created syvecs so tells you how much knowledge he has ) up at scoobyclinic at chesterfield for all my mapping. Still a reasonable drive but well worth it.

Very few mappers i would trust to map mine, Andy F being one of them though.

Also beware of mobile mappers, check they have the correct insurance cover and bear in mind they will have no workshop support should something need sorting.

Thanks for the advice tidgy, it currently has a scoobyworx map what are people's reviews on this company? Must say the car seems to run nice
