Remap needed??
 

Hi
I have a 1995 wrx with nur spec cat-back system on it at the moment. I am looking to add a sports cat down pipe. Will a require a remap if i do this?? Thanks.

it depends on what ecu you have. well is it standard or after market, ie simtec, apexi, motec etc.

Standard ECU.....

see my website.....;)

i had this problem the standard ecu's up untill a 2000 i think aren't remappable. so i had to have a simtec fitted, to get my gains.

the answer to your questions is no it cant be. how ever you could have a piggy back ecu fitted to help, like a apexi or greedy.

Will it be safe for me to have the downpipe put in without the remap?? And if so, what would the gain be in terms of power??

Hello....yes it can be mapped on the standrd ECU....

so you are telling me that a certain tuner ripped me off by 1200 quid,

mine is a 555 my96

they said nothing could be done on the ecu with regards to a remapp cos they were not remappable.

the tuner i have been dealing with since september i have spent $hit loads of money with, i wouldn't of thought they would sell me up the garden path something that wasnt needed.

They obviously haven't done their homework. Check out Scott's website. There are a few options for the early ECU.

u dont really need to get mapped after putting on an exhaust. but if you do get it mapped u will get the full benefit of the exhaust depending on weather its decatted. but without a map u will defin8ly notice a gain

untrue.. only the 97 and 98 standard ecu cannot be mapped and then you don;t have to spend that much for a replacement.. the 93~96 can be remapped using a daughter board from ESL.. number of us offering them as Scott says etc..
