Default How many times to Re-map

I will hopefully be getting my 02 WRX re-mapped in the near future, it has full de-cat, new headers and a larger turbo on the way

Question is when i have fitted the above and had it remapped to get the most out of the mods, when i add more modds doen the line, will i have to spend another £500 - £600 on remaps.

Or is part of the initial cost of the first re-map to change something? I obviously have no idea. Help

Im assuming that they do change something on your first map then!


If not why do following ones work out cheaper?

there is a licence purchased in the initial cost, after that, dont need a new licence. The mapper will probaly also give you a discount if you take your car back - they already have the map from previous sessions and can just modify that which is quicker hence cheaper (usually!)

If your getting a Ecutec remap then the first time is done you have to buy a licence for the software used, then subsequent map are cheaper as you already own a licence.

Does it matter if you go to a different place after the initial remap or isthe licence fee for the car, which would mean i could go anywhere that does ECUTEK??

Wow £350 for the 2nd sounds pretty high to me - how long did it take him?

All you need to add to your list of mods is an STI top mount, STI injectors and uprated fuel pump and you should be looking at approx 310-320 BHP. I'd get these first and have one re-map, pointless paying out again when you have most of the parts needed.

If you want to go further than that you'd best have a word with Ninnybobs or Midlife
