What mod I need to do before ECUTEK to get the most out of my import Bugeye WRX?? please advice....

 

For a bugeye, full exhaust system including the up pipe; (or keep a cat to make road legal); a knocklink & that should do you.... Enjoy

 

De-cat down pipe
De-cat centre
Performance back box
STi Panel Filter
Samco Intercooler hoses (3 no in set)

If you can afford it, do the up pipe aswell

Get the car Custom mapped to your car by one of the many good mappers


You dont need a knocklink if you are getting Ecutek map 3. The mapper keeps the car within safe limits

However i have a 3 gauge pod (Exhaust gas temp, Boost and Oil Temp) just for my piece of mind..................... and it looks pretty

I was advised, rightly or wrongly that if you run a full de-cat, an EGT would be a good idea just to make sure everything isnt getting to hot

 

get a knock link. for the sake of onother £130 /150 when your spending abit over a grand, when without 1 the worst case senario, is a £3000 rebuild.

my V6 type r has had the tek 3 treatment and 99 times out of 100 there is no det but every now an then usually when high humidity and depending on the other variables i get a bit of det, so i take it steady.

Fair point but he has a bugeye. Tell me, why dont prodrive put a knock link on the PPP cars?

If the cars an import, it will be mapped for optimax when it gets done anyway

 

With a prodrive kit you have a warrenty so who cares

I ve had my car re mapped as the first was poor and the knocklink thought it was Christmas - ecu tek bug eye

 

It would be interesting to hear a mappers opinion?

 

all depends what you want

standard but runs how it should from the factory

exhaust modified almost an sti but under 300bhp

exhaust tubo injectors intake sti beater over 300bhp


oh and 100% every time for the knocklink, and the reason prodrive don't fit them cos there tooo slow with PPP to worry

 

Full decat (if you dont care about MOT) + Panel Filter + Samco's = 293 bhp

 

Had a number of people fill up with bad fuel & the knocklink was the first warning something wrong was going on......

 

what about the sti injector and STI fuel Pump+regulator?? will they do any good??

 

I would definately go for the uprated fuel pump. Injectors and regulator not necessary if you are sticking to the TD04 Turbo. IMHO.
