Default help advice about mods

Hi I am I'm the process of buying the last of my mods I am going with
Sti topmount forge re circulated dump valve
Decat 2nd cat back 2.5 maybe sport cat prodrive when get money
Apexi induction kit
Walbro fuel pump
Putting gauges in too oil temp press and boost
Is it safe to run without getting mapped? Hardly do any mileage just until I can get it mapped as I live in the isle of man
Or is there any companies who I can send the ecu off too maybe that are good
Thanks

do not drive the car after fitting this lot. it will end in tears. the ecu needs to be mapped with mods in situ i'm afraid. if it even can be mapped. as gazza says some more info about the car would help here

you get a mapper to come to you. Simon or Duncan might come over if you made it worth their while. cheaper and safer than taking the car to them.

erm.... no point in getting duncan over if you are going to fit bits n pieces at a time. it needs to be all done then you get duncan to map it. at £300 a time its better done once than 3 or 4 times everytime you add another modification.

I would fit the lot in a weekend and not use it till it was mapped I am aiming for just over 300 don't want to push it too much.
I am new to 4 wheel drive n turbo so will be asking loads of questions and reading all the technical forums.
Thanks again :-)
