Default UK turbo 99 mods advice please.

I have a 99 RB5 and am looking at fitting a HKS exhaust with full decat and an HKS panel filter does my car need to be mapped to suit these mods or am i safe enough to run it on the standard PPP ecu?

Also in my box of receipts i recieved with the car is the advert for the car that the previous owner bought it from. It claims the car has a 280 bhp ECU upgrade. Now i can not find a receipt for this but what boost should a PPP uk car run at and i will do a test and check what my turbo is producing.

You should have it remapped if you are going decat. Get it booked into Mr F! When you have a date then work towards fitting the parts just before hand.

You the lad from the Murchison by any chance?
