do i nead to remap?
Hi,
i have a 2002 wrx which is currently standard.
I have a prodrive back box, prodrive secondary decat pipe, and prodrive sportscat pipe...
if i put them on do i need a remap or will the standard ecu and map be ok?
thanks

The decat and sports cat will reduce resistance of the exhaust and could cause the engine to potentially run lean as a higher boost level than normal could be achieved and cause a detonation and failure of the bottom end of the engine. Most cars will be fine, some could/might fail, if you want to safe but want a bit more noise just add the prodrive back box and then get the other bits added and then get a remap asap.

As Duncan suggests above, a 3 port boost solenoid would be a worthwhile mod. I have Prodrive solenoids in stock.

TBH the only way you will notice an improvement will be a re-map...........an open source one will suffice.
Without a re-map All the ECU will do is compensate for the airflow and tootle along it's merry way at around the factory 215PS with a little earlier spool and a different noise.
