WRX Blobeye decat problem :(
Hiya
I had a full decat fitted to my stock wrx blobeye today, picked it up and the engine light was on, i half expected this but wasnt concerned as i was planning on getting it remapped next month...
so on the way to work this afternoon i wanted to hear the symphony of the decat so i planted my foot and it reached 3-3.5k rpm and started to judder and and stall!
I lucky pulled into a nearby petrol station where it died, i restarted it and drove around the forecourt with a very light foot, it seems it doesnt like sharp blips of the throttle nor anything over 3000rpm or it judders and dies or just drops revs.
Its a full decat i had fitted including the uppipe
I'm hoping all this needs is a remap.
Thanks in advance.

Glad it wont have to come off again then. It wont boost or accelerate anyway :/ just wants to cut off, i guess its a safety feature from the ECU?
Thanks for the reply.

I had Andrew Carr map mine and the difference hes made is unreal!
I would recommend a panel filter and a better Fule pump (Andrew fitted the pump for me at the same time as the map)

Yeah Thats a bit too far but thanks for the offer mate.
I've just got off the phone to tuning developments and they say because i removed the cat the primary and secondary sensor are not reading correct temperatures, he also said the car doesn't have a limp mode but they don't do many Subaru's.
