NOT HAPPY!!!!
I need help and advise,
I have just purchased a 2002 wrx sti (ver 7) JDM
spec:
Roger Clark s/s manifold
Greddy clutch
Tein mono-flex coilover kit
VF34 turbo with gaskets
h/pressure fuel pump
Re-map - Steve Simpson Full Mongoose stainless system
Bailey dump valve
I have checked the ecu at its an V8 what ever that means,
My issue is I am not happy with the power output and Turbo lag through gear change,
I am getting 10mpg. (need to buy a shell garage)
What can I do, am I rite in saying my ECU is mappable, if so recommendations around the NW area,
I don't want to add any more performance parts for now, I just want the car to drive like a scoob. It is hard to explain without you guyz actually driving it, but to me it seem a mapping issue.

Sounds more like a mechanical issue to me.e,g, duff sensor.
With that kind of fuel consumption the fuel is either escaping or the car is massively over-fueling. You need to get the car to a specialist to get it checked out. Drive off boost till then.
Can't rule out mapping, but Steven Simpson is very well respected and certainly knows what he is doing!

Well after a long conversation with Steve, we think we have got to the bottom of the problem,
The car was mapped in June 09, since the remap, the Exhaust, RCM headers and fuel pump have been fitted and we think the car has not been re-mapped, well Steve has no records of it ever coming back,
On the last map the car was producing 316bhp and 335 torques.
So Steve and myself think the car defo requires another go on the rr and checking the statues.
The question his if it requires a re-map (probably it will) what sort of bhp should I be getting.

basicly figures vary from rolling road to rolling road, they can be calabrated to give what ever figures people want (i've seen 1.6gl's run 450bhp at RR days for the larf). i've some claims of 400bhp on a vf34, but i highly doubt them myself and so do alot of others.
around 340-350 is about the norm, you do get some odd ***** that might go to about 360 but anything more than that i;d start asking questions myself
