Help for my friends 52 wrx please
Hi
I recently purchased a downpipe and decat for my brother in laws subaru, i fitted this for him (car has also got a magnex backbox and a k/n panel filter). All was well, a great jump in performance and the engine revs better too, but after a few days the engine light has appeared on the dash. He brought it around tonight while i checked a few things over i discorvered he also has way too much oil in 12mm over the maximum.
Has the increased performance caused the engine light or could it be the oil?
Is a remap the best way to go?
Any help much appreiciated.

full decat will cause cel,the rear lambda will register a cat fault.
remap should be done on a decatted car due to increase in boost

Thanks for the replys guys.
So can the ecu/engine cope with the extra performance while the car is remapped?
Where is best to go for the remap he is based in north yorkshire. - Racing line Halifax?
Any preference?
