Lads, im fitting a full mongoose system and a green panel filter.
Will I be ok to run the car like this until I get it to the mapper ?
Its a standard uk 2001 bug eye WRX .
Just worried incase it will run lean or fuel cut ?
Cheers lads, any help appreciated.

 

Just keep it off boost and you shouldn't have a problem.

 

Don't take this as gospel but i'm planning a de-cat on the same car and i've been advised by a few people that you don't need to go for a re-map straight away.....?

Edited to add -

Or drive off boost until you do.... apparently an STi may suffer from running lean / boost creep if you de-cat but the WRX doesn't suffer from the same symptoms.....

 

cheers fella's appreciated and will do.

 

There shouldn't be any problems with the Bugeye WRX as the ECU can learn quite quickly. I'm sure the mapper will know to map out CEL code P0420 (cat below efficiency) as well

Bug eye STi's had a problem with boost spikes AFAIK

Midlife.....

 

cheers mate, zorst is fitted, full system took 3 hours to FIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mongoose isnt that loud cmpared to others ive heard.

Car doesnt feel much different, hopefully Il see a change post mapping

 

Did you get the up-pipe and downpipe cats removed??

I was under the impression you should feel quite a difference after this as the turbo should spool up earlier (slightly) cos of the up-pipe and the downpipe is supposed to really supplement the breathing....

Strange!!

 

if the up pipe and down pipe cats are removed does this fail the MOT?

 

You should be 100% fine without mapping - I had a full TSL 2.5 inch system and green panel filter fitted for about 3 months before visiting a mapper.

Wrung the heck out of the car, all was fine

Loads of pops and whistles on overrun though

MY02 WRX

 

bbbigman

I just wondered who's mapping your car

woolz you will need your cats for the MOT unless you know a friendly tester.

Midlife, its getting done by Gavin at Wallace Performance in Aberdeen.

First time Ive used them for anything, and ive tuned a few motors So il write a report when I get back from his place next wednesday.

 

Dave R, lol thanks pal, the cars not running as well as id like, but then im used to autronics management on my evo, hopefully the ecutek remap will go some way towards matching my fussy driving style
