Worth remapping??
hi guys
so I have a bog standard 2006 WRX (albeit apart from a backbox on) and was considering a remap. I've asked about the general census is ill get anywhere between 250 and 270 bhp from a good map... brilliant...
but....... my engine has 52k miles on the clock. Would it be safe at this stage of its life to consider a remap (it has been very serviced though!)
So.... worth doing or not?!
Cheers
Will

if your thinking about it then it may be worth doing a sports cat/decat beforehand to get the most from the map. The standard cat will hold things back a bit and you won't get the peak figures that are possible. The 2.5 will really shine in midrange torque which can be around 300 lbft and is a very mighty shove when you sink the right foot.
