The centre pipe on my newage wrx without a remap. Iv spent a while reading threads about fitting systems some say they're ok to run others say they need mapped ASAP. I know to gain the full benefit it's best to remap which I will be doing at a later date. I'm going to be changing the parts myself in my garage and was planning to do it over a short period. I was going to start by removing centre pipe then uppipe and so on. My final spec before mapping will be td05 18g full system inc up pipe, injectors , fuel pump, y pipe(fitted) and panel filter.

you will be ok changing the center pipe without a remap but dont remove any cats unless your having it re-mapped

As above cat removal , turbo to a higher spec and injectors will require a remap but cat back system and fuel pump will be ok until mapping day arrives

Iv changed the resonator section to a straight through but I'm not needing to take the cats out to fit the system. I won't be fitting turbo and injectors until I'm close to mapping date. Just wondered if taking the cars out will harm the car driving off boost? Could be for a couple months tho.

You can drive it on actuator pressure if you take the cats out until such times its mapped. Thatll give you about 7psi max boost and wont cause damage. Basically all you are wanting to do is prevent overboost occuring

Thanks that's what I thought .

ive got a decat, cone filter and upgraded y pipe on my turbo 2000 without a remap but it doesnt boost over 13psi. will this be causing damage? when i got it, it was running off the actuator (7psi) so i took it to the engine tuner in plymouth and he reconnected it back up right, he didnt say it would do any damage
