No the standard eciu on a V4 isnt mappable only options are a complete ecu swap or an esl daughterboard (which is slightly cheaper) purple injectors are 550cc injectors.VF28 is a turbo from a STi 5 it has a VF24 as standard but they are very similar in terms of power

Just noticed you said you have a dastek piggyback on the ecu which might have been mappable 7 or 8 years ago but i dont know anyone who still uses them let alone maps them but it is possible to map these
