great service time and time again, Simon has exclusively mapped my cars for a fair few years now and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

yep, even though it is standard you will get a nice increase and a better drive, and better fuel economy off boost as well. Off course a remap comes into its own though when you have modded the car

No, Simon's right - just Green Giant...

The jingle simply went:-

"HO HO HO" [with a booming echo effect]... # Greeeen Giant # [sung in a male American voice].

There' was no "Jolly" anywhere to be seen or heard ...... apart from on here, of course! LOL!

Is it a UK one with 265bhp or a JDM with 276? Do you intend to add any supporting mods first, before the remap, etc?

Well, if no extra mods I'd personally wouldn't bother.

If you fit a decat downpipe, then yes - do it! You can prob pick up a 2nd hand bellmouth job for £60 anyway, so it's a no brainer. A remapped decatted downpipe'd Impreza is ALWAYS worth doing... you should see over 300bhp!

Don't get me wrong - having a car remapped is not all about gained bhp/lb ft. i's about responsiveness and safetly too. A remap means that your car will be running the best/safely it can - mods or no mods.

Not sure what sort of bhp gain you'd get on mapped std car - possibly 20? Maybe more?

Ask JGM's advice - he'll sort you out...

why the not bother? yes more gains with mods but should be in the region of 300/300 once remapped.. so 45bhp should be a nice gain..

custom mapping to current setup be it standard or modded will still see nice gains

Sorry Simon - I had no idea that a std car would add that sort of bhp/torque!

There you go jp, I was talking shi'ite , JGM doesn't - I bet you're rethinking a remap now, eh?
