Default Remap and tuning help

Hi all. I have a turbo 2000.
A few years back it had decat, 2.5inch straight through and a panel filter. The ecu was remapped by Ecutek at a price of £600!!!
Since then, It has had yellow injectors, bigger top mount, td05 20g and a walbro fuel pump. It runs nice and is quite quick. Boost is 1.4 bar but sometimes drops down to 1bar at higher revs. My question is; what's the best route to go down now? Will I need another map to accommodate the mods? If so am I best getting another Ecutek map?
Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

YES you will need a map. The injectors are a different size, the turbo has different characteristics. As you have already paid for the licence the next map will be cheaper.

An Ecutek adjustment will not cost another £600. Just contact your nearest ecutek dealer.

Please tell me you are not driving your car lots or hard on those mods without a map tweak?

Yeah wasn't aware it would damage anything. Will get in touch with an Ecutek dealer ASAP

Drive it gently and off boost until you get it remapped again.

Runs sweet tbf, just not super duper quick and the boost drops off to 1 bar. Pulls really nice though. Will be driving sensible from now though
