Default K&N Typhoon fitted

Fitted the above today and just wondered if it would be more benaficial to get a re-map , my very near future mods are new intercooler , turbo , injectors, and fuel pump , which will obviously require a re-map so could i hang on untill then , i'm under the impression it is ok to run it as it is but just wondered if i'd get more gains etc


Thanks


Dave

i would take it off untill your ready for the remap as you can damage the engine and you will feel no real power gain until you have remapped as it will be altering the amount of air your taking in

Take off immediately , even though you have fitted the same maff the air flow characteristics will be different and it is recommended to get a re-map , have one on my 2002 sti .

The ECU does have some degree of compensation, your car wont self destruct
