Most certainly will of effected the AFR and boost level. Best not put your foot down until it's mapped. Light throttle won't do any damage. Disconnect the wastegate arm from the flap just now

Overboosting leading to det and engine failure. Stay off boost and get remapped as ASAP.

Just down the road in sunny Bangor. Bludgod (pete) is local too in antrim. If your car is newage (ie bugeye 2001 and on) we can sort you out. If it is a classic (before 2000) youd need to go to the likes of ECC instead.

By the way, might be worthwhile changing your location details to be a little more vague, giving your full postal address might be a bad move if any thieves are looking on.

Is there something you're not letting on?

sorry BRENDY 76 this voice activated text is a mine fieldespecially if you're not wearing the right glasses but if it is a regular occurrence try more potassium in your diet but back to the point who can do a good remap job locally and how much do you think it may cost
