"Basic" remap question..need advice pls..
Is is "physically" possible to remap without having to replace fuel pump and exhaust sections?
Situation is this.. I have an 05 WRX Blobeye wagon with only a Prodrive backbox and am after just a little more torque and power..like 30/30 or 40/40 more.. I was wondering if this was possible.
Have looked at 2 tuners , both very good names I hasten to add .. AndyF and Seditas(sp) ..and they both insist on decat downpipe and centre,fuel pump and different panel filter before they even touch the car..and I dont want to do the above as I'm not after big power increases and want to stay stealthy quiet the way it is justnow.
Now the way I see it the PPP on a WRX doesnt require a fuel pump upgrade or panel filter, so it must be possible , but it does remove the downpipe cat I believe.
So will anyone tweek the existing map on mine the way it is? Are the parameters of the map tweekable?
Cheers,
Steve

Mapped quite a few 100% standard cars to give more oomph - they work well but obviously you will not get the full power of a decated car. Very noticeable difference though.
One std 2004 wrx I mapped recently got 269bhp on the dyno... generally they will get 250-260bhp but a very healthy increase in torque which makes for a better driving car.

There is a lot of leeway in the way Subaru mapped the cars as they left the factory........after all they have to be very safe to cope with so many variables LOL
If you just want to unleash the extra horses that your car should have and errode the safety margin but not cross it then I'd consider a competent "open source" mapper
Dynamix............do you do open source mapping ? LOL

Problem is you will soon get used to the extra 30-40 bhp and then wish you had fitted the decated exhaust, fuel pump etc. to get that bit more out of it.

Will start saving .. Having only recently bought the car and then the Big End having to be replaced I need think of a way to do it without the wife knowing!
