Question MIN MODS RECOMMENDED FOR 1ST TIME MAP

I have a 2002 WRX and I'm just wondering what the best mods (as a minimum) I should do before getting my car mapped.

I don't want to pay out for an initial mapping session to only wish I'd done a few more things before hand and got a bit / a lot more power out of it

Currently my car has

- panel filter
- performance back box

Cheers

do the performance down pipes still have fitment for the lambada heat sensor?

Will fitting one cause probs at MOT time?

only if you go for a decat

go for a sports cat downpipe, centre section and backbox
then a green pannel filter

also add a uprated fuel pump - not always needed but a good fail safe

will be good for 270 is bhp and make the car feel much better, but do remember to pick your mapper wisely - a badly mapped car with few mods is much more likely to blow than a well mapped car with loads of mods

from my limmeted experience I can fully recommend Bob Rawles

WRX Rich beats me to it again

Like you I have a Bugeye 2002 WRX

Choose the mapper first before landing on his doorstep with mods he does not know about !!

I went for Bob Rawle and exchanged a few e-mails so that eveything went according to plan

Where are you ??
