Hi all

My VF23 recently went on my 55 WRX. Thinking of going up to a VF34, already have a full 3" exhaust and was told by the garage it can go up to circa 300bhp with a remap if I buy a VF34.
My only hangup on this is they want £750 for the remap, this seems expensive?! How much should I be looking to pay for a remap when I change the turbo?

 

My ecutek remap with licence cost about £500 if i remember rightly. I have a 2001 bugeye wrx.

 

Presumably you have already had the car modded / mapped, might be easier to contact the original mapper ?

I haven't had the car long so am not sure if it has been mapped already? I will try and find out. If I get the turbo changed at the garage then take it somewhere else to get mapped will it drive? Will it cause damage driving on a VF34 without a map?

Thanks

 

No, just stay off boost.

 

Where are you located?

For remap £750 is way too much,i would ask Rich@FB Tuning,Duncan@Race Dynamix,Neil@Slowboy Racing and Graham@EngineMapper for OS remap and price is from £225-£350

VF34 is nice turbo with supported mods,you should have nice 330-350bhp.

The original turbo for the MY05 Blob WRX was the Mitsubishi TD04..........if you have an IHI VF23 then it's been changed. This is usually done in conjuction with filter / injectors /de-cat / STi TMIC / plugs and a re-map.

You really need to know what's been done to the car

Hope this help.

I would recommend drive off the boost until remap and possibly fit 3-port boost solenoid or mapper will fit
