hi all, can you remap the standard ecu on a 2001 bugeye wrx, im after getting my car running the best it can and get the best bhp for what ive done so far, it has a full s/s 3" exhaust, walbro 255 fuel pump, k&n panel filter and ill be swapping the standard intercooler for the sti one, the exhaust is cat back so should i get it decatted and change the down pipe and manifolds before mapping or will it not make much difference?
with those done what should i expect power wise? Hope that makes sense cheers

 

Yes you can remap the newage wrx. Racedynamix can do it (on here)
Sound like your going for 350+Bhp lol!,unfortunately your only gonna get 270-280bhp with the standard Td04 that i assume you have. If you want more power need an STI VF turbo or Td05 for example.
If you decat may have a problem MOT time, otherwise a sports cat downpipe is a good half-way house which will only drop the power by a few percent.

Would be great to get to 350 maybe eventually, could i bolt a td05 or vf straight on, would it be safe running the bigger tub on my engine, cheers

 

The Td05 would be fine. Alot of guys have no problems running 350bhp,, but it can be a stain on their gearbox/clutch and they can have a shorter life because of it. The engine should be fine. Others on here will be able to give you the full load down

Cheers mate got an idea of which way to go now

 

It would be a good thing to decat the up pipe.
