Yes you do, most definitely!!

Sounds like the ECU has gone into limp home mode.

You wouldn't get anything like the optimal gains for those mods without the remap anyway.

Tell us where you are and we'll recommend a good mapper.

All the other mods were fine, but a turbo really needs to be mapped in.

Highly recommend Bob Rawle for the re map as I am sure loads of others will. Drive steady from where you are, you will have more fun on the way home He's a top guy and goes that extra bit just to get it right. When I had my MY99 mapped we did all the 'runs' and I had approx 270bhp, he knew something was wrong(I was happy!) So back to his, diagnosed drilled out restrictor (previous over boost issue I guess). Popped in an STi one, back out on the road. Then had 281 bhp & 312lb/ft. He really won't stop until he's happy
