Hi just a question that I know has probably been asked thousands of times but would could help me out a little.

I own a MY02 Bugeye and the only mods I have done are the performance panel air filter and a Ninja BB. I'm booked in at Xtreme Scoobies on Sat for a De cat Up and Downpipe and a Ecutek Remap. What sort of BHP and lbs ft should I be looking at? What BHP have you Bugeye owners had with these mods?

Thanks

Hi Paul,

I imagine at the moment with the backbox and and panel filter you'll be running a few bhp higher than standard, (I gained 7 bhp from a Magnex bb, decat centre pipe and GREEN panel filter).

Following your decat up/down pipes and remap you should be expecting somewhere between 270-285bhp I would think and a similar torque figure, (are you leaving in the centre cat?)

As a comparison, I'm getting 265bhp and 258 lb/ft torque since my ecutek remap, with the oe up/down pipes still in (MY01 WRX).

I'd be interested to know your results because I'm planning to go full decat sometime this year?

Agree with the above - 270bhp minimum.

Sound good to me. I'm hoping for 270BHP minimum. I will let you know as soon as its done.

Yep, i'm defo interested here as well,

Looking to do the same in the next few months,

Out of curiosity you hoping to pass your MOT wi just the middle cat?

It will just pass if it is hot but alot of places will put a cat on to MOT it then take it off again for a charge but you should be ok with the center cat.

Just like to thank Xtreme Scoobies, Knowlsey and crew and Pat for a top service.
Had my MY02 remapped and a Decat up and downpipe fitted. What a difference Can't beleive I didn't do it sooner. Need to get it on a rolling road now to see what I'm running.

you might need remap ecu as well, it is givine you extra 30-40bhp. i ve changed backbox, centre section and remaped the ecu , came with 333bhp, 340lbt. my car is a bug eye.

Some cars will, some won't.

My MY98 wagon with PPP and decat downpipe would not pass the MOT with the standard centre section put back.

Easiest solution is a sports cat downpipe, Sti PPP ones can be had for around £200, that's what I've fitted to my MY99 JDM Sti (with a H&S made joining piece) and it sailed through the MOT 2 weeks ago.

Also some places (don't know if XS do) offer an MOT service where they fit a double catt'd centre pipe for MOT purposes, then take it back off afterwards.
