Default V2 sti, what mods have u done?

Iv got a v2 sti and looking to do few more bits to it, but im unsure if the ecu can be remapped? So id like to know how people get around this and what mods they have had done to warrant a remap/RR set up. So far iv got an apexi power intake, 3" system inc decat, stainless slip jointed manifold fully wrapped,
Thanks for any info in advance

the list is endless for upgrades, it all depends on your budget and what you want from the car. the v2 ecu isnt mappable but its chippable and will accept an esl piggyback board. there is all the other ecu's open to you like simtek, apexi etc etc that will fit your car.

Unless you have changed the turbo i doubt those figures are true.

The top mount on the early cars is poor and really needs upgraded if you want to run bigger power safely.

I went for a frontmount on mine. Apexi power fc, 550 injectors , fuel pump, decat, z32 maf, apexi avcr boost controller.

The list can be endless, it just depends how deep your pockets are.
