You will defo need it remapped! In the mean time drive it off-boost or you will cause all matter of potentially nasty complications, what is your most local city? I assume its a Version 6 you are driving?

Wow...ok.. Yeah go get it remapped! Hopefully no damage will have been caused, the 2.0l's are a bit more robust then the 2.5s thankfully so fingers crossed its not an expensive one for you!
ScoobyClinic is only 67 miles from you, maybe give them a shout and get booked in. 01246 590807

Sorry to be picky but I didnt train Neil.
I used to do all their mapping and now occasionally do some mapping their or use their dyno.

From my limited knowledge, it would cause boost spikes & over boosting which can lead to where the fuel / Air mixture isn't compensated for the lack of back pressure, thus the car runs lean (less fuel to air ratio). Which in terms of the way the engine runs it may lead to det/knock which is bad
...... melted piston, ringland failure, burnt valves, piston slap, ...........

ps - sorry to the technical guys for my layman terms

The Bug 2001 WRX 300 ..... this one ?

will cope with a de-cat without destroying itself as the piddly TD04 turbo does not flow a lot of air.
It will throw a P0420 CEL as the cat is missing but the DENSO ECU will simply compensate and change fueling and ignition so there will be no improvement in power but a small increase in low down grunt.
RE- Mapping will improve BHP and Torque
You will fail a MOT as the cats are missing though
