My car was remapped before I bought it and ive been running a different backbox and ive changed to a K+N induction kit are these mods gonna affect/cause damage to the engine??
She runs fine just dont want to do some damage in the future!

backbox shouldnt be an issue, induction kit may be a problem though

Yeah I suppose the induction kit will take in more air resulting in running lean. Which will definetly damage it. Maybe not the case though, you'll hopefully get an expert opinion soon. bttt

is it a wing mounted one or just an in engine bay one?

General opinion CAI = remap

as it is already mapped though it shouldn't be that much just to tweak it because you don't have to shell out for the license again (depending on type of map...)

Its an engine bay one.
Its a Ecu Tek3 remap,but it was done by the previous owner........I dont have any documents of it being done,would I have to take it to the same place it was done or can it be done at any mappers??

The license is attached to the ECU.

The map will be locked, so the previous mapper can protect their work. If you can, take it back to them. If not, a different mapper may charge a little more as they will have to start again, but you've got your license now.
