You need a remap when you fit the intercooler if not you will have lost of turbo lag.

You'll get lag even with a map.Cooler inlet temps and made mine a lot smoother running...oh and the extra chatter sound did make it worth it too.

BUT yes you do need a remap if your going to fit one and i wouldn't bother unless your running 300+

If the intercooler kit is properly designed and manufactured, then with proper mapping there will be no more appreciable lag unless there are underlying issues.
