The bugeye was a bit notorious for having boost spikes if de-catted....not the sort of thing that will blow the engine just a bit juddery at times.
I'd just drive it normally but don't cane it.... the Bugeye Denso ECU is pretty trick so will keep the fuelling within limits, also the newage FPR is a good item and won't be overwhelmed by the Walbro

PS It depends on the mods...I went for a TD05, bigger injectors, different iop-mount etc. The ECU wouldn't have coped so (as Bob Rawle said) I drove around off boost for a day or so until I could get to Swindon LOL

Mine just wasted the fuel, as it made 340 bhp after the re-map, and maybe 285 bhp without. But it used just as much fuel !
The main thing is that you are adding a sports-cat NOT a decat, makes quite a difference to boost issues.

P.S. bug-eyes aren't as bad as the "blobs" that followed for this problem.

TX I do not doubt what you or for that matter Bob Rawle say at all. I'm just going from my personal experience thats all. I started chatting with Bob in June about my upgrades, but didn't remap until nearly 3 months later from my first mod. Bob said my car with the mods at the time was fine to run for the time being without remapping. In my case Bob had the luxury of being able to speak to my dealer to get a full understanding of the cars history etc.
