Just a Re-map, worth it?
Hi,
Wondering if anyone just re-maps their Scooby and performs no other mod?
If so what are the results, and are you satisfied?
Thanks!

01 fugly WRX mate. (other mods include Prodrive headlights
).
I'm off to the pub. See you all in 8 pints. Reckon I'll make even less sense then !
PS On a Newage you'd get 280 -290 bhp with the exhaust bits, plus a lovely low down spool !

Thanks for the info! Mine is a MY05 so it should be "regular" I guess!

It is a MY00? If so I think you can, if it is ECUTEK.

I don't know personally but I do know that '99 onwards ones can have the re-map and if you add in the extra "bits" you will probably get some quite good gains!

So if I want to just re-map my Scooby then the gains will only be limited?

A remap will be the single biggest difference you can make, especially on a stock car. Once you've paid for the ecutek licence subsequent maps will be much cheaper.

Nice! What did you have done to it?
Were you not worried about the factory Guaranty?

When Subaru create a map for a standard car they have to consider they give you 3 years warantee, therefore map it safely to allow for this. So yes if your willing to push it there are big gains to be had by just having a good map.
Also it will be tailored to your car as a pose to a generic one

Not possible mate... get yourself over to
.:ImprezaSport.net:. and see what the rest of the n/a boy's are up to. You will be far better off looking at suspension mods (springs and anti roll bars) and improving the braking this way you will have a faster safer handling car... you can go quicker without more power
