Question Center section question

Bit of advice needed. I've got a 98 turbo with Scobby sport back box and decat downpipe. I thinking of getting a decat center section. What I'm not sure of is if I change to a decat center would the car need a remap?

But you will need to re-fit the centre section with the cat to pass an MOT.

A guy on here, BarryL, got his car through an MOT without ANY Cats! I believe, that IF the car is warmed before it goes through the emissions bit, it'll fly through. His is a UK00! AND, it wasnt a dodgey back alley place either!

Hard to say, depends on the map of the ecu, on how clean your injectors are, how the engine performs generally and the ambient temperature. I would guestimate in the region of 5 to 10 although I am sure I will be eaten alive for being wrong
