i dont know that it would need turbo porting however you should DEFINATELY get the car remapped, if its overboosting you are running the risk of boost spikes and engine damage. I would get the car mapped and drive it off boost until then

I dont know a great deal so not sure but dont see.why the turbo would need porting .i am taking it back today and leave it with them for a remap but didnt want to get it done till I fitted a new turbo so I am gunna have to clear my acount and get both done done .thanks for the reply

On WRX you can drive with decatted exhaust,but i would advise drive off the boost.
If you have friend which have Tactrix cable,he can disable error code for missing cat

It was almost abit pointless fitting the de-cat as it will have to come off again for a turbo change. Its quite a waste of labour. Im suprised they didnt advise you to wait and get the turbo,de-cat and map done all at once to save on labour costs. Especially ad the general advise is dont de-cat without a map

Ye thats why I asked him if it will run ok till I get it mapped he said ye .otherwise I wouldnt of got it done .suppose its a lesson learned and taking it now so he can do it tomoro.any idea why the turbi would need porting with the re map

its just a standard turbo .if i got a new turbo and remap would it be ok with the standard up pipe

Yea. i dont see anywhere what car you have. if its a newage wrx it will have an up-pipe cat. you will get more from it if you remove it. If it is a wrx with the standard td04 ive never heard of them being ported

the vf35 on the sti yes there sometimes ported as they can suffer from creep.
