Time for a remap????
I'm thinking of remapping my bugeye WRX. To be honest I know little about it all so am looking for advice. I understand that the best place to go is powerstation.
At the moment I have only upgraded the exhaust. I have decatted one section with afterburner plus fitted blitz NURspec R centre section and back box.
The remap is next but thinking of fitting a sport cat first. Will this make that much difference or should I just striaght for the remap?
Either way how much am I looking at spending on the reamp? Are there hidden costs that I will only be =come aware of once I start the remap process. If there are how much extra will they cost.
Finally how much extra BHP can I reasonably expect??
I would appreciate your help here guys.

wouldn't trust powerstation to map my car as far as i could throw em. theres a thread in the dealer 3rd party area full of reports of blown up engine etc then poor customer service after the fact.
o hang on there was, its mysteriously disapeared.

i've just soerted out a group buy on mapping with Bob Rawle. The cost was £360 for a previously tek'3 ed car or £500 to start from scratch.
Before going for the mapping route you need to consider what other mods you will be planning in the future. The cheaper option is to get all the bits on then map to avoid further tweaking (and cost) down the line.
As for performance gains it really depends on the car and the mapper - also don't just concentrate on bhp figures; torque is equally if not more important
Just a Tek 3 map on its own will make a big difference to your car, decating just makes the difference bigger. I would get a 3 port boost solenoid fitted on the day as well which will help.

I had a Tek 3 remap with Powerstation on my MY00, and have been very pleased with it. Car has just passed 100k too, and its running very nicely thankyou.
I also had a 3 port boost solenoid fitted at the same time.
As above, you are better off getting all the parts fitted first.
I wish sometimes that I had swapped the turbo before I had mine remapped, to go over the magic 300bhp.

Dan,
Had mine done just before Xmas. No probs with Powerstation on the two previous occasions with mapping either. BHP from 218 to 269.5 and 343 Nm . I have the 3 port fitted, Walbro FP and a Hybrid panel filter. So, not much really.
If needs be pop in if your in the 'Diff soon for a natter.
