so its been de-catted but not mapped?

oh-dear

vf43 will be fairly laggy on your 2.0 as it is a turbo from the 2.5 models. usual turbo upgrades are vf35/28/34 for a 2.0

Yes this is the case its as i got her from the previous owner but it will be getting mapped ive just got bigger issues to deal with regaurding the scoob besides her running rich due to the decats, servicing had been neglected and a few other thing replacing cheep nasty parts and getting things right before the remap but 1 issue outstanding the temp gauge dropping under acceleration need fixed before she can see a rolling road fella

Colour looks nice bud. I have a sports cat no remap. No problems. People freak out to much. Seen lads running around with uprated turbos and no remaps. That's mad.

A bloke i know is currently rebuilding a Supra..It's a UK auto..he's just repainted it and got some Rays alloys from Japan...It's shaping up to be a nice bit of kit.
