I have fitted a front mount intercooler but the car isn't booked in for a re-map for another 2 weeks and it's my daily driver so was just wondering if it will cause any damage and if so what damage? The car has been mapped before it has a simtek ecu

You'll probably get some rough running but doubt it'll cause any damage.

You might want to put up a full spec when it was mapped i.e mafless etc so we have a better idea.

When it was mapped it had a td05 16 g turbo, forge actuator with 1 bar spring, walbro fuel pump, 440cc injectors, standers small slanty top mount intercooler, decat, k&n big cone filter and yes it's mafless and it's running 1 bar of boost at 266 bhp and as I said just fitted fmic and have a 3 bar map sensor ready to fit just before map hopefully looking at 330 bhp. So I can drive on boost then you reckon?

I've got no experience of this myself but why not play it safe and try not to push it too much on full boost, just be a bit sensible with it. *Just read its mafless so may be ok until remap??

I'm sure someone will post on here where they have been in the same situation as you.

Will be fine to drive about but you will probably get overboost due to the lower charge temps, just take it easy till its mapped

I have been driving it tonight just been going steady but did go flat through 3rd and all seemed ok but going to try and keep that to a minimum, just soo tempting haha can't help myself some times

Keep it off boost as much as poss.
Or your next post will be, "How much does a bottom end rebuild cost?"

this ^^^^
colder intake temps means more oxygen mixed with fuel = leaner running. Keep off boost!

OK cheers guys don't suppose anyone knows what 3 bar map sensor to use on classic or if anyone has one they could sell me

Which MY Impreza is it? As you may not actually need to upgrade to one. See here:

Indeed, for a goal of 330bhp from a 16g, I'm pretty certain your std one will suffice.

I have a 94 wrx in a 99 turbo 2000 shell mate and my mapper told me to get one he said he could provide one but was hoping I could one on here cheaper and ye he said 320-330 would be the limit for my turbo
