Remap, maybe anti lag aswell!!!
If I don't buy my mates E46 M3 I'm thinking of remapping My Wrx 02 With Andy Carr. Got all the needed mods fitted apart from the Uprated Fuel Pump which I'll get. Thing is Mines done Nearly 92K on OEM Turbo. Just thinking will it be Safe or not
Not going down the Turbo, Front Mount route. Just fancy alittle tweak
Not bothered if not, it pops quite alot as is it Just always fancied it. Even more so now I'm using it more with the baby. Save some Fuel as well
You got it? If so what's your mileage? Turbo etc.
Oh Getting the Cam Belt & Pulley's done next year as well. Just incase people ask with the Mileage. It'll be No more than 93K next year. Don't use it much!

really dont be afraid/put off turbo upgrade road.
It really is wats needed..
If had a standard one with turbo upgrade it'd be better then a de-cat or induction mods etc.

Thanks for the quick reply buddy. For me it wouldn't be worth it! I have a company van I use in the week and sometimes weekend. Babies always in the car now with me, plus with the money of it all, can't really afford STI turbo n that. All going on Nappies and bloody wipes. Lol

The theory is sound with a remap, more torque, able to get into a higher gear sooner and get better economy, that said I've yet to see us map a Scooby or and Evo to improve economy lol
Pops and bangs are pretty fun, I swear I can see the fuel gauge move everytime it does it though!

I prob won't have another Scoob (I do love it) just I've never bought the same make/model car twice. Always beleve in trying something different. Just my opinion.

Agreed! My headers started blowing shortly after getting anti-lag fitted. I think it depends on the type to be fair. If you have the cheap ones with a flexi joint they won't last long!

If so I might leave the anti lag and update the head unit later in the year.

Most impreza's do when an exhaust change! I've changed all mine apart from the up pipe. Could be why it pops quite abit. More when changing down into 2nd. Better since I changed to a vortex back box from the ninja 1. See my garage, there's a small YouTube vid when I changed over last year. Need to do a new one now really. Got the sports cat Downpipe now. Pops alittle more

I've taken my 2nd cat and resonated centre section off mine, and replaced with straight through pipes. Also changed the backbox to a prodrive one and I can actually hear it now

Oh ok. Is it running ok with the sportscat as you've not had it mapped for it? I thought I'd read that it would cause boost spikes etc?

I'll have a look for the vids.
Yep it sounds perfect to me now, not too loud at low revs but does shout when going through the gears

Oh gotcha! Wasn't sure if it would of caused airflow problems with it not being mapped for the sportscat but that's good if you can just turn off the CEL with a quick fix.

Go with the pops and bangs rather than AL if your not going to be using your car for track use.
Its a gimic for most guys to be honest, real Antilag with Rally cars does what it suppose to do, where as AL on none>mild modified cars is just like having a VTA Valve... pointless.
I was going to ask Andrew when he mapped mine a few months ago, but I realised the implications/side effect and decided against it.

What have you been told about the implications.
Are they detremental to the engine etc? All I have been told is if left on can cause overheating of the engine .?

Had the Car Mapped yesterday by Andy. Got my **** in gear and had it done! Faultless He is a proper Wizard
He text me the night before to make sure I could still make it at Taylor Motors (stockport). Rick Fitted the Walbro 255 Fuel Pump first then ready to go
Took him about 1hr 30mins in total. IT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT CAR LOVE IT EVEN MORE NOW Had loads of time for me. Real nice guy
He reckons around 270-275bhp & 280lb Torque. Got loads of Pops And Bangs. Just lightly press the Accelerator at 2.5-3K Revs, hold it there and she Sounds And Beaut. Like a cheaper version of Antilag. And safer Even put me Launch Control on. Said it's not ideal on a Standard Clutch tho. 1 or 2 goes and i'd have No Clutch Left It's there for the future tho
Just pulls in every Gear. Doing the Map, it was bouncing off the Rev Limiter in 3rd gear and still wanted to go. Andy said he had to adjust the turbo because it was too Agressive. Standard Turbo and all. I don't go passed 5K revs in 4th never mind 3rdThink I treat her too nice
I'll post up and a New Video Soon. Sounds Awesome Well I think so. Even the Dump Valve And Exhaust Note have changed. Sounds really Crisp
BIG THANKS AGAIN TO ANDY CARR. TOP BLOKE
RICK AT (TAYLOR MOTORS) AS WELL.
