Default ECU Remap best place?

Apologies because I'm sure this will have been asked loads of times, I have just bought myself a 4 branch manifold & full decat the car has a high flow air filter fitted already.

Once I fit these 2 exhaust parts will it need to be remapped straight away, or can I run the car as it is?

If it is that it needs remappin straight away where is best to get it done, and what prices can I expect to pay I hear Scooby Clinic is good?

Do turbo cars need remapping pretty much after every mod that gets put on, doesn't this work out very exspensve?

Cheers

I've got a UK turbo Scoob in Mica Blue, it's in the garage at the moment having the gearbox rebuilt may have been a little over zealous with the donuts!!!???

keep it off boost and it will be okay, but should be remapped before driving hard especially with header changes.

What year is the car? cannot advice pricing or option open to you without knowing what year it is

yes they do need a tweak to the map or complete remap depending on what parts you change, if you intend doing a fair bit then wait and buy them all at once..

If you haven't guessed already from the above post, you could do much worse than getting Simon (jollygreenmonster) to do your mapping!
