No re-map required as the ECU will just (on it's limit) compensate. No extra BHP though.........

Be carefull if you completely de-cat as the ECU tends to just lose boost control and can spike.

Thanks, i am just replacing the cat and pipe with the prodrive sports cat and removing the other cat as per what the ppp kit does? I have a remap planned for a months time. I thought the change of cat and removal of the other oem one wohld give me a bit more bbp?

Also can you tell if the turbo boost is spiking and what damage will this cause?

STi Version 8 is the usual moniker for the Blob........following on from the Bug STi Version 7.

Hopeless really as Subaru stopped the "versions" at 6

Hence my checking as the version number gets muddled from v6 on.

Well scrap that it gets muddled from v1 onwards but you know what I mean lol

Yep, the murky world of the Subaru Versions

Usually used by sellers on Gumtree and e-Bay to fool the unwary into parting with their cash...........

Ah ok I wasn't sure if it had sent as ive had issues with my hotmail account. Thats a shame that you've got to miss it but there's always next year! Let me know when you get the car back and I'll get the dates of the upcoming meets to you.
