My similar spec MY00 UK Classic was mapped to 1.3 bar. The standard clutch wont last too long at this boost level and this is about the limit for the standard gearbox. Steve.

Your ecu cant be remapped. It will need an aftermarket ecu such as simtek or Syvecs.

I am often over in Norwich and Lowestoft mapping for members of scoobycity.co.uk who are mostly east Anglian based. I am cambs.

You sure it can be remapped being as it's 1998 ? It's usually 99 onwards.
Assuming of course you mean the ECUTEK remap.
If not, I'll shut up.

98/99 cant be mapped as far as i know, dynamix will confirm this. Unless it has a prodrive ecu which you mentioned it had ppp pack i think, then i believe they can again dynamix will confirm, Duncan has mapped mine today and done an excellent job. i can well recommened Dynamix

MY99 (Sep 98>on) onwards can (EcuTeK).

It's MY98, and MY97, (Sep 96 to Aug 98) that can't at this precise moment. Need Apexi PFC, Simtek or Syvvecs.

ESL Live allegedly 'on the brink'....

*cough* Manual Boost Controller *cough*
Fuel Cut Defencer on a 98 UK Spec MAF/MAP setup will kick in at 1.2 Bar...
...so as long as you dont turn it up beyond a Bar (as it will spike to 1.1Bar) you should be fine.

UK engines arent the strongest though, so take care

<>£500 for A 2nd hand Apexi PFC and £350 for the map - a decent saving....
