hi every1, ive had my new blobeye uk wrx for about a week now and wanted to get a little more out of it. so i went to a newage sti breakers in boston (pmb performance), nice lads, prized 700quidos out of my palm for full blob sti trim, front splitter, vf35, pinks, full decat, pipercross filter, walbro.
one of the lads there has just started mapping (open source) by his own addmission says he has just started done a few with good results, but cant have a/l ect. ive got a local r/r centre called corten-millers, they want 650 all in for l/break ect, is there any other option to me. iv got to get this sorted before i can bolt on all my goodies thanks guys phil

 

Go with a reputable mapper, using some one who's "just started " could turn out very expensive for you.
Personally ive always Richard Bulmer at Tracktive solutions (ecutek) a lot of people use Duncan Graham (race dynamix) for open source & he gets a lot of good feed back here.
First thing is to decide if you want open source or ecutek, then search on here as there are a lot of good, reputable mappers here who will travel to you.

 

can you have a/lag with open source and what is the real differences. i suppose finding a ecu that has already had the licence broke is going to be hard work. thanks

 

can you have switchable maps with opensource mapping ??

 

Yes if will be mapped via new ROM CarBerry,contact Andrew Carr about this or other Open source mappers like Duncan@Race Dynamix

Above all DO get someone who knows what they are doing. A rebuild is lots of £££.

 

yea tell me about it. had a few before, to be expected to a certain point. engine has been done buy tim farmer, just need a few more miles on the clock before we can bolt the goodies on and get it mapped, im trying real hard to find a ecu with liecence break. cant put a wanted thread up, it will not let me, like i said before crap with pcs. thanks

 

I don't think you can post in wanted unless you are a paying member, but it's not expensive.

 

just had mine done by duncan today fantastic results,highly recommend him.

 

did you go to him. and what did you go for ecutek or open source,

 

open source,&funny enough duncan recommended tim farmer to me for couple of things i want doing,give him a call you wont be dissapointed he's a great guy.

 

Why do you want anti-lag and launch-control? Is it just for the prestige? Fairly pointless on a road car to be honest. Anti-lag will kill your turbo very fast, launch control will kill your gearbox & diff before you know it!

Also, if your fitting those bits you will also need an STI TMIC and undertray. Also much better brakes, trust me!

 

Also, as said above. Use a recommended mapper with some experience. Its your car, engine & money that could be at stake!

Good luck with it anyhoo.

 

brakes are not good brembos will be going on, also front mount and red inlet with delets.
got to have antilag simply becaus it sound the nuts.

 

Sounds like you got most of the bits you need covered then! Nice one!

Agreed that anti-lag sounds great, but will not do your turbo any good in the long run. I got Duncan (RaceDynamix) to map mine to add a few pops and bangs. Sounds great and no turbo issues.

 

Depends where you are but Alistair at Trackhound has a good rep in Scotland :

im in skegy vegas, lincs. we have a r/r centre near us (corten-millers) but been advised only any good for power print outs. thanks guys
ps taking the scoob all the way to the isle of white for a long w/end, cant wait, mileage will be up bye time i get bk, so we can book a mapper and bolt the goodies on woop woop see how long this g/box lasts lol.
