Exclamation do i need a remap???

i've an HYDRA ECU fully mapped with anti lag, twin fuel map, with a Kakimoto Full Mega N1 3" s/s exhaust but still have the original downpipe, peak pressure boost is +-1.45 bar with continious 1.2 boost pressure. i've to change it now and i'm going to fit a sport cat downpipe. My question is, does i've to remap the engine again or not as i know that changing the downpipe would increase torque and power. But i don't know if it will affect boost pressure.
Please let me know our experience with that.

Thanks

Daniel

no so if it has been mapped for current set up on a hydra.. there is no room for "it should be okay" etc..

i'm gutted , the fitting and mapping have been done by Tracktive so it would be impossible a the moment for me to have it remapped because i'm living in Belgium and can't go oversea now.
what can happen if i don't do the remap when sport cat downpipe fitted?

to explain he reason y you cant fit it is because it will push exhasut temps dangerously high, i wanted to fit one for a track day but was a no goer.
